That is silly. Build a base at the grass roots level and start electing Libertarians in school boards, in city councils, then State houses and State senates.

They're working on that. Much of the news on the LP site is of such small victories. I think the run for President is more symbolic and a way to get their message out.

But I don't think they can win for one main reason: The Republicrats campaign on left/right agenda issues and can get the big left/right block of votes. The Libertarians campaign on the Constitution, which spans the left and right agendas, meaning they could only get a small piece of the pie of each side.

Bobo: Never minding the fact that the Public at large has not read the Constitution, the Federalist/Anti-federalist papers, or even have a poor grasp of history, libertarianism will remain at the fringes of society. Without a major upheaval in this present world, liberty will continue to diminish until "1984" is a reality.

Ah! to have read and understand what the founding father's would have done. I pray that someday we can develop such a backbone as they had.

Blessings, Bobo
