In [[1980]] Clark won the Libertarian Party nomination for the Presidency at their party convention in Los Angeles, California. He published a book on his programs, entitled ''A [[New Beginning]]''. The book's introduction was by [[Eugene McCarthy]]. During the campaign, Clark positioned himself as a peace candidate and tailored his appeal to [[liberalism|liberals]] and [[progressivism|progressives]] unhappy with the resumption of [[Selective Service]] registration and the arms race with the [[Soviet Union]]. When asked in a television interview to summarize libertarianism, Clark used the phrase "[[Low-Tax Liberalism|low-tax liberalism]]," causing some consternation among traditional libertarian theorists, most notably [[Murray Rothbard]]. A growing split within the Libertarian Party between a moderate faction (including Clark) and a purist faction led by Rothbard eventually came to a head in 1983, with the moderate faction walking out of the party convention. | In [[1980]] Clark won the Libertarian Party nomination for the Presidency at their party convention in Los Angeles, California.
