This is related to that very question though Terry. What is Libertarian, holding to a principle of putting the Libertarian party first or perhaps it is sacraficing the party for the chance of working with in the current party system to promote Libertarian ideals.

They may not be focussing on it directly, but what lies behind there thread is very closley related to your very question.
