No, and it never will until the libertarians figure out that you have to build from the base up and not from the top down. Until the libertarians can at least hold governorships they will not stand a chance at a presidential bid.

Not really. I am a Libertarian and I recognize that the idea of self government and freedom is rapidly leaving the western world. Most folks want Socialism and lots of freebies from the government. Libertarian approach has no chance in the future in the US. But being a big spender Republican has enormous potential. They raised spending on discretionary areas 40% over the last 12 years. That is what everyone wants.

No. According to most perspectives people are changing their mind on privatization and laissez-faire economies. Social Democracy is clearly making a comeback. Libertarianism is mostly supported by Generation X, as it suits our sink or swim mentality. The Boom likes the conservative religion of todays's republicans and the Millenial Generation however is going big for old time Paleoliberal social programs for the poor. The winner in the long run is the old school Democrats. Gen X is the tie breaker as they like hands off economy's and hands off social constraints so half go Repub's for the business and half go for the Dem's for the lack of crazy religion.

The Democrats and the Republicans have proven that they have been under the grip of the israeli regimes.
Therefore, the Liberterians, The Green party and Ross Perot should get a second look. As a matter of fact, our votes should go there instead of the two hajacked parties by the NeoCons and the thugs of israel.

Probably not. They would have to field a candidate with much charisma who would be able to rally the public to a cause.
I do not see that in the future.
Also, Americans are too focused on the 2-party system and do not really recognize any other way.
