The minor parties need to start small and work itself way up before it becomes a serious contendor

Baloney, that's a myth pushed by the MSM and politicians who fear the competition. Libertarians need to run at all levels. Both the Republican and Democrat parties blame each other for our problems. They are jointly responsible and need to be cleansed. That won't happen from within.

Whatever the media's motivations, it really is the right thing to do.

Your politicians work their way up, councilman, mayor, or district attorney, governor, etc.

If you have limited resources, and you scattershot them all over the place, you'll just continue to lose, and you'll never have a network either.

By starting at the grassroots, and concentrating on a race at a time, you win, then while there (and before) you start to build up networks, eventually, you have a pool of canidates for higher office, with backgrounds, built in fundraising, a track record of results, and a GOTV network of voters and volunteers.

If you run guys at all levels, dividing up your resources regardless, you may get a moral victory, which, along with 50 cents, may just get you a cup of coffee. If you work from the grassroots and locally, you'll actually get guys into office, who can now run for higher office.

"Libertarians need to run at all levels."

Do Libertarians support open borders?

Do Libertarians support legalizing methamphetamine, in my neighborhood?

Do Libertarians support legalizing gay marriage, polygamy?

Do Libertarians support defending ourselves, pre-emptively perhaps, against 1.2 billion muslims?
