By far the biggest problem with the Libertarian Party is the name itself. 'Libertarian' sounds like a combo between 'liberal' and "librarian." Was it Murray Rothbard who coined the term? Whoever it was, the name sucks. Ayn Rand recognized this PR problem from the outset (in the early 70's), but never offered a superior alternative. (Rand wasn't a purist libertarian anyway). 'Constitution Party' is a lot better, but already taken. Labels/names are very powerful, and bad ones keep many people from investigating any further.

It also sounds a lot like the word "liberty," the idea of which is terrifying for most people.
