Sounds to me like the Republican Party needs to do more to attract the L/libertarian vote then!

Nader didn't defeat Gore in Florida, Gore defeated Gore in Florida. Likewise, L/libertarians don't cost Republicans elections, Republicans cost Republicans elections.

Not the point, if the republicans fail to do the job they were sent to do they will have to answer to their base..
