I think I may go play Dodgeball this election instead...

The GOP used to at least offer lip service to these folks. This year, as neither party offers even small "L" libertarians anything and as the Libertarian candidate is more mainstream than usual, perhaps the LP will get closer to 13%. I hope so. Roscoe,

If the LP gets 1% then 12% are staying with the the major parties. I would think we'd need to see evidence that at least 50% of the 13% are "swinging" from one party to another or another. It would appear that "libertarians" aren't swinging, so there has been no reason (yet) for anyone to appeal to them.
