If we are trying to take over one of the two largest and the most corrupt party, why couldn't we take over the Libertarian party?
You start fresh, IMO, for the branding. People want new and innovative. That is a big reason, IMO, why the "tea party" concept took off. It's sad but true. The Libertarian Party is already established and carries with it certain reputations (whether bad or good) with people.
