I think it is. It will take a couple of decades to have large effects on a federal level.
Just look at Rand Paul a few weeks ago, one day he was applauded at cpac and the next day he was applauded for a speech at Cal Berkley. I did not think that was possible and shows how the right libertarian can pull voters from both parties.
I think it is in some ways but people are also wary of labeling themselves to be of a particular political party. Really we are seeing a resurgence of Independent thinkers with plain old common sense (at least I hope so). Fiscal conservatism/honesty and social liberalism is the opposite of what we have now but is what most people are/want.
I concur that social liberalism is becoming more popular. Libertarianism has become tarnished by the baneful spectacle of the racist, xenophobic, homophobic Jesus freak "tea party" successfully annexing the term.
Nah - calling yourself a Republican is becoming more embarrassing.
