If these "L" candidates weren't on ballots in every state, maybe Libertarians wouldn't vote at all, and so the only real affect they have is on the propositions, not the candidates. From comments I've read on F.R., that seems a real possibility.

Or maybe we'd vote Republican, like this Libertarian did.

Quit blaming Libertarians for the loss. Try blaming American stupidity, gullibility, and intellectual laziness.
