I reckon the death thing goes to everyone eventually. I was a card carrying member of the Libertarians for years. Best political ideology out there, IMHO. Their virtue is their drawback, however - most of them aren't willing to make the compromises that would allow them to challenge the major parties under the current system. They'd have a much better chance in a voting system that didn't prop up a two-party system.

Idea: With the major party nominations, let the opposing side vote in the presidential primaries. Let Dems vote for the Republican candidate and let Republicans vote for the Democratic candidate. Thus ensuring a more cooperative atmosphere of moderates. Either that or they'd pick the most extreme of each side, hoping to undermine the other side, resulting in a rise of third party candidates.
