What would happen if the GOP goes Libertarian?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

The GOP doesn't need to go libertarian to regain constiuents on the West Coast and Northeast. It just needs to soften their lines on social issues. The truth is the GOP needs social conservatives to win, but they also need economic conservatives who couldn't care less about abortion, gay marriage and gun issues as well. The GOP has gained the perception as of late as the party of the southern religious nuts, and in turn it has caused them to bleed in the suburban parts of the country which were once GOP strongholds.

How do they do that? Well, I'm not entirely sure, but nominating people like Huckabee and Palin to be the standard bearers of the party isn't a start. If they were to go Libertarian, the party would surely split into two or three minor parties, effectively destroying the GOP.
