I have doubts the Libertarian Party has matured enough to greatly impact our political climate. I doubt they will gain many defecting Republican politicians either. Years of propoganda make issues like drug/prostitution legalization politically risky, plus the Libertarian fixation on the minuteau of destroying government is too easily percieved as extremist. Making the abolishment of Driver's Licenses a hot-button issue is just silly!!!

In the years to come I can see a older, wiser Libertarian Party emerging with a platform that balances expanding personal freedom and reducing government with realism, common sense, and moderation.
