I'm a full believer in having a true libertarian in the executive office, and some semblance of the uni-party in Congress for checks and balances.
Ron Paul was a great candidate for this reason. That and against the Fed.
Edit: This is given the 2-party system. It's near impossible to even win the presidential, but at least that's 1 seat vs. however many required in the House/Senate to have non-trivial effect.
A libertarian as executive wouldn't be able to get anything done. At best he could dismantle things that the next executive would reinstate.
I'm not hopeful enough to think there'll ever be a Congress that accomplishes positive goals in the legislative branch. Therefore, the best I can hope for is a deterrent, and one who can use whatever presidential powers there are (like yanking armies out of foreign nations, etc.)...not that it'll happen either, but maybe less improbable than winning N many congressional seats.
