Sure, a lib could win a statewide race or even a congressional district
rate but I don't see anything more than a "spoiler" against the total
vote in a national race. In a parliamentary system, which we don't have,
the lib party might do ok.
The biggest problem libertarians have is they do not draw the
corporate bribe money the Ds and Rs get because part of their fiscal
policy is cutting the corporate welfare from the government.
That may be *a* problem libertarians have, but I don't believe it is
*the* problem.
*The* problem, in my opinion, is that any number of libertarian
candidates for high office are crackpots and therefore in the minds of
the average voters, the libertarian party and its candidates are mostly
crackpots.
The GOP, of course, is also infested with crackpots, but on the national
ticket, they typically do not pick one as the standard bearer except, of
course, in 2008, when MooseMama made it onto the ticket.
