I'm sorry to disagree, libertarians, stoned or straight, instinctively know the Left is the enemy.
Whether the choice is a big, or little "C" pubbie candidate, they will, other options denied (viable libertarian candidate-usually at the local or state level), vote Republican, or stay home, and "hang around the shack, and get a good buzz on". (stolen lyrics-just don't know who to attribute them to)
When they stay home, that's fewer votes for Bush and it's better chance for Kerry.
Don't forget the 2000 election, where Bush won Florida by 500 votes. What if 600 of those Bush voters had stayed home? THEY would have been the ones who elected GORE.
