Speaking of unlikely alliances, Michael Moore and Bill Maher recently surrounded Ralph Nader, got down on their knees, and begged him not to run.

The Libertarian Party will be making a significant mistake by cozying up to the Greens. The Greens are the kind face of statism. They offer to solve the worlds problems by concentrating power in their hands. "The world is broken and we can fix it," promise the Greens. That's antithetical to the LP message, and they'll sell out everything they claim to believe in if they do it.

The Libertarian Party is a contradiction in terms. It's an organization devoted to reducing the power of the government by putting themselves into power. Consequently, I don't think they'll ever accumulate significant political power, because its adherents don't have that drive or will to power- if they did, they'd be in the GOP or Democrat parties.
