The LP's focus should be on State legislative races and lower. The focus should be on a limited number of quality, non-badnarik/hacker/milnes/dondero type nutjobs as well.

They basically run as many candidates for almost every office as possible, BUT, they run the average joes and regular party members for the state and congressional offices, while the better qualified candidates and those with much experience in politics and government run for local and county offices. Since then, the Independent American Party has elected 3 people to such offices already. I know the Nevada IAP has a somewhat similar strategy.

I am a 20-year Appointee of the Houston Regional Selective Service Board. I get to decide, along with 4 other members in my area, who goes and who doesn't. Obviously, being a Libertarian, I would vote for Nobody to be Drafted. There are at least two other Libertarian Selective Service Board Appointees in the US including well-known Tom Knapp in the St. Louis area. It's easy to join! They are begging for people. You get a nice certificate, a pin, a paid two-day training session, and paid travel expenses. After your initial training all you have to do is show up once a year for a half-day training session at a major city in your area.

People remember non-idiocy. A few more moves like this and these county commissioners might find themselves in VERY competitive congressional races. People remember non-idiocy.
