"If libertarianism is so great, you should easily be able to convince those around you of its merits."

It took gay people decades to win the rights they have now. Gays back in the 1970's didn't wait decades for the homophobes to come round; they moved to gay enclaves where they could live without persecution immediately.

And the gay enclaves were key to winning national acceptance, by showing that the "gay lifestyle" in enclaves was nothing to be feared.

Similarly, libertarians want "liberty in our lifetime" as well. And libertarians are often asked to provide examples of how our ideas would work in practice. But putting them into practice requires winning elections. Concentrating our forces [in New Hampshire] allows us to win elections, which in turn allows us to implement our policies, which will--we hope-- assuage the fears of authoritarians, and allow for greater acceptance of libertarian values nationally.
