But who knows...those mostly young, first time voting Paul supporters may decide to sit it out. They bear watching after they make their last stand as Repubs and raise hell at the Repub convention this summer.

My comment were about Barr not Paul. My comments about the Libertarian Party was based on my knowledge of the party platform, personal interactions with party members - including attending a state convention, I also spent some time as a county party officer. The Libertarian Party is made up of very diverse people, and they are commonly well informed and have very strong views on their favorite issue. They are a fun crowd, but I think the diversity - in some cases quirkiness - is the reason they can not get traction on a national level.
