In most races, the Libertarian got 20% to 25%. Guess what? That means that in some cases, the refusal of Republicans to vote for a Libertarian, when there was NO Rep. running, put Democrats in the government.Libertarian candidate Michael Cloud garnered 19% of the vote in a two-way race with Senator John Kerry from Mass. There was no Republican in the race.

The Republican party helped defeat the ballot initiative in Massachusetts which would've repealed their state income tax. Governor Jane Swift opposed the measure as did Mitt Romney. They could've taken a principled stand for smaller government. But, that would've meant less taxpayer money to finance government handouts in exchange for votes.

Republican candidate Michael Cloud would have gotten 40% of the vote for his party affiliation alone. THAT candidate, with the right campaign would have HAD achance to beat Kerry.
