Hmm, you might be correct. All the same, you've got
decades to go before a substantive fraction of the
public in NH accepts libertarianism. i lived in VT, a
few blocks from the NH border, they're not at all the
sort of radicals who would be attracted en masse to
libertarianism. You could get maybe 10-20,000 to join
the NHLP in perhaps 20-30 years because libertarianism
is fun (for instance, the allure of drugs & wild sex),
but 100,000 members in one decade? nosiree. 50 years?
yes.
The crucial factor is the constancy of psychological
processes in a state  such as NH. You might have
better luck in Vermont.
