Tom Martin is running for the LP. The absurd number of signatures will probably keep him off the ballot as well.

from a March 9th press release
"There is no way I'm going to ask the Libertarian Party to attempt to collect over 100,000 signatures to get my name on the ballot", Krawchuk explained during a brief address to convention delegates. Third-party candidates such as Krawchuk must receive their party's nomination, then collect a minimum of 67,070 signatures to get on the statewide ballot this November, plus an extra 30,000 or more to ward off challenges. Democrats and Republicans need no further signatures after receiving their party's nomination.

The system is very effectively rigged for Santorum.
