<<< Steve, only 4% voted for the Libertarian - that's where YOU are. >>>

Yes! I freely admit that. If I like neither candidate I often vote Libertarian. BUT, I often vote for (or against) republican or democrat depending on the candidate and the importance of issues. That's what you and people people on this board just don't get; that is that people in the middle often decide issues as they swing one way a tiny bit or the other a tiny bit. NOW, most of those Libertarian social issues have been decided for all practical purpose - so we move on to economic issues.

Do you see what I mean? I often voted democratic for instance if the republican was a bible thumping homophobe. But not many of those left in my area - so I move on to economic issues as the most important agenda.
