Jesse is not anywhere near Libertarian. He only slightly to the right of Kerry. I am basing this what he did as Governor. Sometimes he would talk like a Libertarian, but could never bring himself to walk the talk.
I would worry if he endorsed Pres. Bush. This works for us, believe me. I'm from Minnesota and every single person I know there can't stand the guy.
You are absolutely correct - Jesse fooled a lot of people into thinking he was a Libertarian including my husband. I used to get into huge fights with him over Jesse because my husband is a conservative that leans Libertarian on lots of things. I kept telling him Jesse was a plain old Democrat pretending to be something else because the Democrat spot was already taken. Before he left office, he showed his true colors.
