In general I believe you are correct - Libertarians generally dont align themselves with the Dems. But this recent set of elections some studies showed more support for the Dems from the Libertarians. I believe the reasons were: - Clinton viewed as a moderate Dem (vs. tax and spend) - Recent Republican heavy focus on family values, etc (social engr) - Recent Rebublican alliances with a vocal Christian Coalition - Overall apathy I think those were the results - this was a study I recall after the election.

I voted Libertarian because of the party's pro-liberty, free trade, fair taxation, centrist-leaning platform. Clinton exhibited these values in his first term. He also espoused a balanced budget through fiscal constraint unlike his predecessors. It will probably be several more elections before the Libertarians can create enough public awareness to win, hence I voted for the man who reflected my views and could win an election. LesX
