It backfired on the Democrats bigtime when their "Libertarian" patsy was discovered to have really been a LIBERAL who supported ObamaCare. Yeah, like a REAL Libertarian would support that big government program.

I have theorized the same here in FL. Didn’t look at the numbers, so I may be off, but I wonder if the libertarian didn’t help Scott. Crist was on the ballot, and the Libertarian probably napped some votes that would have gon to Crist...we had the medical marijuana amendment which drew out the drug-related libertarians. I can imagine many of them didn’t vote or say the big L and opted for that candidate.

....and yet, Greg Brannon would not say to support Tillis over Haugh.

The Republican lost because he got less votes than the Democrats. The Republican did not lose because of the libertarian

What's with all the "Thom's" in NC?

[Din Maker]

...two-thirds of Haugh's votes likely would've gone to Kay Hagan...That margin would have been very close to what Hagan lost by last night

Good. I hope the witch is heart sick and grieves over this loss for a long time.

Losertarians aren’t funny.

Libertarians tend to be pro-marijuana, which helps them to take votes from low-information liberals. They also claim to support small government (and real libertarians do support small government), which helps them take votes from republicans. Supporting marijuana matters more with the low-information voters.

If most libertarians aren’t DemocRAT operatives; they might as well be.

They do nothing but split votes away from conservatives.

I’d rather support a RINO.

[BenLurkin]

In what universe would someone be willing to vote for either a libertarian and a ‘Rat?

Makes no sense.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Thom Tillis wants to increase legal immigration.

I hope the new speaker in NC can repeal Tillis amnesty bill.

[PeteB570]

Oh, come on. Every Libertarian in NC voted for Haugh plus a bunch of POed Conservatives.

I didn’t hear from any Democrats that jumped all the way over the R to vote for the L.

They’re drunk and reaching for straws.

[FreeAtlanta]

We should advertise the libertarians marijuana platform. That would pull away a lot of Democrats.
