I saw one in Philly. The commercial was really cheesy. I agree with many Libertarian ideas (save the national party's nutty foreign policy) but this guy has no chance in hell of getting my vote in 2004.
Yeah, same here. They certainly have a valid point about fiscal conservatism. I like pretty much everything from the Cato Institute except their foreign policy stuff. However, anyone dumb enough to actually vote Libertarian should be institutionalized.
I think the real circus will be about 2008 or 2012 when the social cons and fundivangelists start throwing fits when they can't impose every element of their views on Republican candidates and start running really serious Third Party campaigns..likely leading to Democrat victories.
Feel free to bring up the above prediction in 8 years. I hope I turn out to be horribly wrong :-).
IMHO, the NYT article could very well help Bush.
The coin has two sides. If a Libertarian thinks his vote could help Kerry to beat Bush, one could assume that a Libertarian may very well not waste his vote, especially in light of the 2000 election.
