From Eric Dondero:The Nation's largest Third Party has a presidential race of their own, though you might not know it. So far, the race has failed to attract big names. But there are at least 5 declared candidates.
According to Ballot Access News:
At the recent Illinois Libertarian Party state convention, five candidates seeking the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party debated each other: Roger Gary (Texas), R. J. Harris (Oklahoma), Carl Person (New York), Bill Still (Virginia), and Lee Wrights (Texas).Harris is perhaps the best known. He is a Constitutional scholar and admirably, a National Guardsman. He ran for congress in 2010 (Norman, OK) as a Libertarian and got 10% of the vote.
Gary Johnson is rumored to be considering jumping into the LP fray. And most recently, there's even talk of Ron Paul going back to the party that he was a member of for over a decade to run on the LP ticket for president.
The Libertarian Party will more than likely have 50 state ballot status for 2012.
Standard disclaimer: We're big fans of the Libertarian Party here at LR. Though, we disagree with the LP platform on foreign policy.

I've been keeping tabs on the Libertarian race as well, and of the current field, I like R.J. Harris the best. We'll see what happens.
