4. I ran as a Libertarian which is like having an anchor tied around your waist and being tossed into the ocean.
Ever wonder why that is? Could it possibly be that while the ideas and rhetoric sound and feel really great, they just won't survive long when they come in contact with reality? Outside the little club called libertarianism the rest of us have to say, "that sounds great. now let's try something that will actually work. you know, beyond the world of theory?"

Your other three reasons for losing may be relevant but they're just gravy. You lost because you can't convince enough people that you have the ability to apply your ideals to real life.
