Au contraire!

I think the LP would know *exactly* what to do.  They did it to us, when
Ron Paul was trying for R candidate.  Our little LP group backed him to
the best of our ability (because he *was* libertarian), and the state LP
disowned us and said "Cease and Desist".

I dropped out of LP (we also lost our party status in our state because
there were not enough LP votes to retain a place on the ballot) and went
Independent/NoParty.  No regrets.
