They won't because it's the smart thing to do.
Well Bob, contrary to what you may believe, not all libertarians are ingorant politically. I think most of them are somewhat inexperienced. This may be changed if the Libertarians can attract some crossovers who are already in office or who have experience. I see the Libertarian party as an asset to conservatives in the coming years. I don't think the platform is at all attractive to Republican Conservatives, but it may be more endearing to the Moderates and Conservative Democrats who are fed up with ultra liberalism in the DNC now.
