Libertarian Party of California Attracting Fewer Delegates

Here are the peak numbers of delegates at the last six Libertarian Party of California state conventions. (I haven't yet found any numbers before 2005.)

California's population is growing, yet the LPC is attracting ever fewer delegates. (And presumably, ever fewer activists.)

2005 ..... 134

2006 ..... 91

2007 ..... 101

2008 ..... 73

2009 ..... 77

2010 ..... 68

The 2005 and 2010 conventions both met in Los Angeles County (the largest California county LP in terms of membership), so their attendance should be similar. Even so, the 2010 convention attracted nearly 50% fewer delegates than the 2005 convention. Pretty pathetic.

For what it's worth, I attended the 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2009 conventions. I did not attend in 2006 (the infamous "cruise convention") or in 2010 (the most recent, this weekend).
