This is why I don't believe that Libertarians (large L ... as in the party) ever really want to win anything. They're going to choose Gary Johnson as their candidate but Austin Peterson is the actual serious one of the bunch. I don't think even LP types take McAfee seriously.

If they'd pick Peterson I'd actually believe that they intended to build a party that would someday win instead of just being a bunch of "political hipsters". They like to vote for "a candidate you've never heard of" and getting mainstream success would cause many of them to leave the party because its not cool and elite anymore.

Oh well, I've long held that one of the biggest impediments to the implementation of libertarian ideals is the Libertarian Party.
