Good News for Libertarian Republicans (UPDATED)

UPDATE: Bad news about Libertarians: they may have cost the Republicans the elections.

Good news about the two-party system: when one of the major parties feels threatened by a third party, they may begin the process of co-optation. This means they take the most popular ideas of the insurgent third party and make it their own.

Could the Republicans take the best ideas from the Libertarians and make them their own? I hope so. I'd start with the legalization of whorehouses, but that's just me.
----------------

Libertarian candidate comes in second in Indiana Senate race. It's a start.

Maybe I'll move to Indiana.

I've long advocated a two party system. I just wish those two parties were the Republicans and Libertarians. Only then could I finally find myself in the center.

Hey, even I want to believe I'm a moderate.
