Edward E. "Ed" Clark (born May 4, 1930) is an American lawyer and politician who ran for Governor of California in 1978, and for President of the United States as the nominee of the Libertarian Party in the 1980 presidential election. Clark is an honors graduate of Tabor Academy, Dartmouth College and received a law degree from Harvard Law School. ==1978 California governor campaign== In 1978, Clark received some 377,960 votes, 5.46% of the popular vote, in a race for Governor of California. Although a member of the Libertarian Party, he appeared on the California ballot as an independent candidate.〔Doherty, Brian. ''Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement'', New York: Publicaffairs, p. 406〕 Another factor leading to the unprecedented (for California) 5.46% vote total for Clark was his libertarian campaign occurring the same year as the successful Proposition 13 which limited property taxes, and the unsuccessful anti-gay Briggs Initiative (Proposition 6). Clark and the California Libertarian Party campaigned in support for Proposition 13〔Doherty, pp. 405–06〕 and in opposition to Proposition 6〔''Libertarian Review'', vol. 7 no. 9 October 1978〕 both of which turned out people to the polls who might be more inclined to favor a libertarian candidate. Clark lost the race to Jerry Brown, who was re-elected with 56% of the vote. Republican nominee Evelle J. Younger had 36.5% of the vote.〔JoinCalifornia election history for the state of California, http://www.joincalifornia.com/election/1978-11-07〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ed Clark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
