After reading through much of this I have to say I think the problem with libertarians here is that many seem to be libertarian for different reasons and not truly 'libertarian'.
Wanting the social freedom of libertarians is great, but not the economic freedom?
You can't have it all ways. I like libertarians, I'd let my mythical daughter marry one, but I think they are very naive with their foreign policy, or the lack there of. Since this is the sort of thing that gets nations killed in the long run, I can't accept it even though I’m quite happy with them in most other areas.
Currently any would be voter who votes libertarian might as well have voted for the candidate they REALLY don’t like. I’ve heard the arguments for voting 3rd party and I don’t buy them. The system only supports a two party system, and unless the system itself is changed or there is a TRUE revolution in thought akin to the anti-slavery movement you won’t see the birth of a competitive new party. Libertarians will just split votes and ensure the election of the greater of two evils.
