"Libertarian voters tend to get ignored by political strategists because
they're not easy to categorize or organize. They don't congregate in churches
or union halls; they don't unite to push political agendas. Many don't even
call themselves libertarians, although they qualify because of their social
liberalism and economic conservatism: they want the government out of their
bedrooms as well as their wallets.

"They distrust moral busybodies of both parties
, and they may well be the most
important bloc of swing voters this election, as David Boaz and David Kirby
conclude in a new study for the Cato Institute. Analyzing a variety of voter
surveys, they estimate that libertarians make up about 15 percent of voters --
a bloc roughly comparable in size to liberals and to conservative Christians
,
and far bigger than blocs like Nascar dads or soccer moms."

-- New York Times columnist John Tierney, New York Times, Oct. 31, 2006
