Yeah, I've voted Libertarian many times in the past. But I don't think they will make much progress in my lifetime. There are just too many people who depend on a big government for their livelyhood and sustenance, And it is in the interests of those in power to keep it that way, so it gets worse every year. I do think it is important that the the 3rd parties stay viable so there is some choice after we have an economic collapse.
The way it stacks up now, a vote for the Libertarian takes some votes away from the Republican and a vote for Nader takes some away from the Democrat. At least that's what the pundits say.
I'll probably go with the Libertarians tomorrow which I'm told will help the Democrats again.
I live in Ohio and have been getting 2 or 3 phone calls a day from the major parties. The more they call me the more I feel like staying out of it, LOL.
