Highthief... while I agree that they could become a political power, the Libertarians are hardly centrist. While they have the gloss of Social Liberals with their anything goes attitude towards sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, their economic policies more than just fiscally conservative... they are extremely right wing.
Will: While I recognize the situation is 50/50 I think my problem was that I was comparing apples to oranges... The entire US spectrum is over on the Right wing compared to most other nations spectrums (i.e. our conservatives are more like your right leaning dems).
On further reflection, I really don't think the US will ever bring another party into the mix. The system just doesn't seem to allow for anyone but the Dems and Republicans (oddities like Reform are blips).
