TX: Libertarians Seek to Break Open Demcratic-Republican Duopoly Lock on Office

From the AP:

With much of the electorate now embracing their contempt for big government and oppressive regulation, members of the Texas Libertarian Party believe that they are finally getting a long-overdue measure of respect as they prepare to choose their nominees for governor and other statewide offices.

Though still overshadowed by Republicans and Democrats, Libertarians say the political mood is trending in their direction, exemplified by the rise of the Tea Party movement and seething anger at the status quo in Washington.
