It would seem like 20,000 people would be able to impact the political leadership of a state with 400,000 people much more easily than a state with 1.2 million people.

Perhaps some concern (misplaced) that Wyoming does not offer the modern lifestyle? Is this group a limited government libertarian group, or an 'I want free drugs' libertarian group?

Is N.H. a liberal or consertive state?

Maybe, and for sure, the gains would have been achieved more quickly in a state where the Porcupine numbers would have carried more weight. But in any event, it may not matter a great deal.

There were serious questions raised about the rural/rustic mature of much of Wyoming, which I'll have to adnmit have at least a certain seasonal validity: there are homes in the county where my granddad settled with doors on the second story as a means of dealing with snowdrifts.

As for the character of individual Porcupines, that varies with the individual as much as in any other assortment of individuals. But the close results with Wyoming coming in second place should be indicative, as is the establishment of the now inprocess FreeMontana Project in parallel with the FSP efforts in NH.

My guess? This is going to snowball sufficiently to very quickly affect both locales, and probably others as well. Check the math at the link.

If libertarian keeps my taxes down I won't begrudge him roasting a bone if he wants to.

Check out the FSP's Links page.

Looks like mish-mash that includes drug legalization (of course), along with some RKBA links, Gay/Lesbian groups, anti-tax/militia groups, and so on.
