I wonder why Libertarians tend to do so well (relatively) in Georgia. Obviously 2008 President was because Barr is from Georgia, but the LP has done well in other races recently over there.
Yes, it was also the only state where the libertarians came in third during the 2000 Presidential Election.
I'd say that Georgia's Libertarian Party is the strongest state Libertarian Party in the country, actually. They ran candidates candidates for every statewide office this year and have been running candidates for the big offices for a while now; their candidates are generally sane and often make it onto the television debates. They do a lot of campaigning, attending political conferences across the state, get featured in city newspapers and on news stations, and even running a few TV ads sometimes.
Atlanta being home to people like Niel Boortz and other ideologically similar radio hosts helps too, I'm sure.
I think Indiana has them beat. The LP there does all of that plus manages to get at least 5% in basically every statewide race.
