Most libertarians voted Democrat this last election. When the ruling Republican party is very socially right-wing, and is fiscally irresponsible, and starts wars for no good reason, a true libertarian may vote Democratic, even though they disagree with them on economic issues.

Or not.
The fact is, most libertarians are't even Libertarians, they are republicans. Especially the paleos.

Seeing as how Johnson has pretty much retired from politics, its unlikely that he'll even consider a run for the LP in 2008, unless he happens to strongly disagree with the two major candidates on offer.  Having said that, I would have thought he'd have disagreed with Kerry and Bush in 2004 enough ideologically to try for a run then.

But Bush is an incumbent. It's different.

Brandon H - Good analysis, however, the Constitution Party that Aaron Russo was affiliated with was of his own creation. His bout with cancer stopped that party in its tracks. At the time he was trying to form a Constitution Party the current Constitution Party was known as the U.S. Taxpayers Party. Your assessment of an acceptable VP is accurate and I don't know of anyone who could squeeze through the incredibly small crack left when the two parties are overlaid other than Ron Paul.

One other thought... perhaps each party nominates its own Vice Presidential candidate?

Tom McClintok?

McClintok = Republican From California who was the top Republican finisher behind Arnold for Gov. in California?

Yup.

Ed Clark is very much alive. He is very old, however and has no interest in another national campaign at his age. I believe he will be close to 80 in 2008.

Well, in <Galicia, the current regional president is running at 82!(check my thread on international elections forum).
