Or, more likely, it's because they never get more than minimal support, meaning that they aren't seen as serious presidential candidates. There's lots of those kinds of candidates out there too.

This is not a secretive conspiracy. It's as transparent as you could hope for. The Libertarians are at odds with the vast majority of Americans because they live in a fantasy land. Call me when they can draw anything within the universe of 10% of the general popular vote.
Let's look at Ron Paul, he's running on a Libertarian platform in one of the mainstream majority parites and he can't even crack the top 5. A conservative party, in a VERY weak field. Be serious.

Do you really think it's about the libertarians being a bunch of kooks? I'd wager it's more about maintaining the status quo,
