Most ideas and products go through several stages of acceptance. The Libertarian Party (LP) and its platform are transitioning from the Innovator phase to the Early Adopter phase. The Libertarian Party has already gone from the innovator phase to the early adopter phase. The state board meetings,for example, show 'pragmatists' outnumbering "purists". Most local Libertarian candidates are non-purists. The purists cannot run the party at current levels by themselves. Pragmatists are coalition partners, not second class citizens who do not 'see the light'.

The LP News' editorial policies are designed to transition the party from the innovator to the early adopter phase. Just take a few back issues of the LP News and see if the take-away message of each article is that of an innovator or an early adopter. The LP.org web site has dropped most of the philosophical and jingoistic material and is more topical and user friendly. It is designed in my view to entice the early adopters to join. The Advocates have also updated their World's Smallest Political Quiz. I used to get a 70/80 on the old version of the Advocates' Quiz. Now I get a 100% on the newer version. There is a time lag before the bylaws, pledges, formal declarations of the LP catch up with this trend. Each component of the LP will proceed at its own pace, but all products, movements and ideas go through the product life cycle. The product life cycle is based upon the biological life cycle that all living organisms follow.
