Libertarians score more than the margin of victory in Montana.

Come on now, 3% is a margin of error, not a margin of victory.

Candidates with a big (L) behind their names win as often as the ones with a big (C). Just check out the Peoples Republic of Tacoma Park in Maryland if you’re wondering what the (C) stands for.

Well, there's what they do, and what they campaign on. I thought you were talking about the latter, rather than the former. Apologies. (Recall that their 2002 and especially 2004 campaigns relied heavily on the American public not paying attention to what they actually did.)

Err, off the top of my head:

Small government
Spending
Deficits
Accountability
Honor and integrity
A lot of stuff from contract with America
Etc.

Yet, through it all, they did pander to the religious right.

On what planet did the Republicans distance themselves from their base? From where I sit, there was no shortage of gay-bashing and other such pandering to evangelical Christians, for example.

Also add: Bush has appointed his last good judge.
