None that I know of, although Congressman Ron Paul from Texas ran for president on the Libertarian Party ticket in 1988. But he switched back to the Republicans. Libertarians cost the Republicans two Senate seats in the most recent elections, and it can be argued that Nader cost Gore the White House in 2000. But the ideas percolate up. Like the Democrat Party adopted much of the Socialist Party's platform in the 30s, the Republican Party has been borrowing from the Libertarians' platform.
