As demonstrated by the +/- 300,000 votes the LP has typically garnered in
presidential elections, many people apparently place the LP at a lower
priority than other matters!
In any case, Bruce's point, if I may be so bold, was not to assert that
women "don't get" the Libertarian message--he was asking why women and
minorities don't participate in the LP en masse, and he was asking

implication is not that the LP message not hard for women and minorities to
"get", but rather that women and minorities *do* get it, and don't buy it.
Am I close to the mark, Bruce?
