[Joshua Katz]

I agree - if we're losing people because they think they can win as
Republicans, the answer is to be in a position where they think they can
win as Libertarians.  I'm also not sure that this particular case
illustrates much of anything, since he seemed pretty into the GOP even
during his race.  It's not terribly surprising to see someone change
parties after the election when they sought the GOP nomination during the
election - while the LP nominee.
