I feel like the Libertarians have played their hand very badly in this election. In such an apparently tight race (whether it actually is or not is another matter), they could have gotten concessions from the Republicans in return for an endorsement - for example, such as say, stronger commitments to repeal income tax.

Running their own candidate was foolhardy and did not play to the strengths of the situation, and does nothing to advance libertarianism. Strategists, they're not.

Regards, Ivan

Good evening Ivan. Yes, they have played their hand badly...and tipped it as well with their press release stating that they hope to be the spoiler.

I hope they do receive "due" and just consideration when the election is over.

It started on the morning of September 11th when the previous LP standard-bearer rushed to claim (even when the 3,000 bodies were still warm) that America was the aggressor and deserved to be attacked.
