Virginia is one of the more libertarian leaning states

In what way? A socially libertarian (weed, SSM, etc) platform would irritate evangelicals in the southern part of the state. And a candidate who runs on really shrinking the federal government, including the military, certainly isn't going to win over anybody in the northern half of the state.

I didn't mean to suggest that a libertarian is necessarily a moderate, but the topic said "a MORE libertarian GOP," and to me all that really implied was relaxing on some social and cultural issues.  The GOP isn't going to stop being Wall Street friendly anytime soon ... I mean it has arguably been that way since Lincoln.

Yes, but it was feasible to be a Republican and actually be opposed to Wall Street and business in general until the 1920s.
