but yeah I think all the libertarian leaning GOP voters will go someplace else, not to Obama that is for sure but probably to some 3rd party.

The paulbots who really understand libertarianism may vote for Gary Johnson, most will sit home smoking weed or vote Obama. Virtually every paulkook I knew in 2008 (youngish college students) ended up voting for Obama. Most of them will do it again. The vast majority of these people were NEVER Republicans. They were NEVER going to vote for the actual GOP nominee. They hate the "country club" wing, but hate the social conservative wing even more. Paulbots DETESTED Santorum. They can not stand evangelicals and social conservatives. Read Ron Paul forums and websites. These people have very little in common with conservatism and we will all be better off when they go try to take over the Democrat party instead of the GOP.

But I will give you this, yall got a lock on the country club votes. Good luck winning with that.

/yawn. The GOP platform is actually quite good this time around. It is a very socially and economically conservative policy blueprint. 90%+ of conservatives will be voting for Romney/Ryan. The Paulbots can just shut up and go away - they aren't part of the party and weren't going to vote for the eventual GOP nominee anyway.

I doubt Romney will get very many conservatives votes, yeah he is better then the Marxist Obama, but he is a same sex marriage, pro abortion, big government, NWO socialist. So I can not see many conservatives voting for him. I will be checking out 3rd parties soon. Sarah seems kinda pissed at the GOPe today maybe she’ll run!

The positions on the two most important issues to liberal left college students are the same positions to libertarian right college students: free sex and drugs. Why wouldn't they vote for the same candidate?
