I think there's a lot of Libertarians out there. Some libertarians are actually getting elected at the local levels. It would be very interesting if everyone weren't so scared of our two party system and would vote their conscious and vote Libertarian without fearing putting a Democrat in office.
Green Party may actually help in that regard. Hopefully they'll suck away as many Democratic votes as the Libertarians suck away from the Republicans and level the playing field for all of them.
It'll also be interesting to see how Dr. Brown's post 9/11 statements impact his support. They were moronic and brought up some very scary images of what might've happened had he been in office when 9/11 occurred.
He basically had no good answers. 9/11 was an action that called for a show of strength and muscle and that's in direct conflict with the Libertarian ideal of isolationism. Isolationism is all well and good, but if someone brings the fight to you, you gotta be ready to answer.
