Here in Florida, we had several State House and Senate seats where Democrats ran unopposed by Republicans, but there was a Libertarian opponent(there were a few where it was a Rep. vs. Lib, too). 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.

Huh? Maybe there was no republican running since there was no way anyone other than the dem would win! Your analysis has no merit without some numbers from those districts.

How about in the Heart of Texas. Messina vs. communist Loyd Doggett? Are you trying to tell me that right here at the State Capitol, the GOP couldn't find someone who could run against Doggbert? Anyone with a budget and a splash of charisma could have nuked him here. The way it was, Messina just had to make due with the charisma. 15.1% of the vote as of this morning for Micheal. Only 130,000 people out of some 300,000 in the district voted. You can't tell me Republicans weren't staying away in droves.

You can't win if you don't even try. Heck, at least the LP is TRYING.

(sarcasm) I guess central Texas just isn't that important to the GOP. I mean, it's only where the Capitol building is. (/sarcasm)
