I am a libertarian but I am still registered as a republican.
As such I try to vote in the republican primaries in order to influence who I think will actually win, and then vote libertarian in the election to support the libertarian party.
I hate to say it, but if enough votes walk away from the mainstream parties (even if it causes the greater of two evils to be elected) then Repubs. and Dems will have to adopt their platforms due to the exodus of libertarians away from their parties.
