Agreed.
Ideal systems could work in a perfect world. In the real world, compromises have to be made. That said, I consider myself a moderate libertarian, and I would definitely vote libertarian if I didn't have a clear preference between the republican and democrat nominees, or if my "lesser of two evils" preference was far ahead in the polls. In a close election though, I will always vote for the major party candidate that I prefer, because I know a libertarian isn't going to win the election, and I want to use my vote for my favorite of the guys that could actually get elected. I'm sure there's some people that voted for Ralph Nader in the last election that would have liked to see him elected, but now wish they would have voted for Gore.
