The Indiana Libertarian Party asked for and received an FEC advisory opinion (pdf) that, yes, it is a state branch of a party. That seems obvious; I don't know why they asked, or what it was that they really wanted to know.
update: Comments:
it's part of the bureaucratic "silliness" of our federal laws. The Libertarian Party of Indiana was required to ask for the advisory opinion in order to support its "application" to become an FEC committee.
The sky isn't blue unless a bureaucracy agrees, you know?

Richard Winger mentions 4 candidates for the Libertarian 2008 presidential nomination. Doug Stanhope and Wayne Root, Michael Jingozian (seems like a crank) and
Daniel Imperato. Currently I know nothing about any of them - I can add to this post as I find out more. So far they seem like lighweights but I would lean toward Stanhope,as not taking himself too seriously.
Update: well that didn't last long:
Doug Stanhope, who had been planning to announce that he is seeking the Libertarian presidential nomination, dropped out on May 1. He is a professional comedian. He said, “Federal Election Commission rules would not allow me to campaign at paid gigs while also retaining a personal income from those shows.”
