Dude, I don't know what rock you were living under but H. Ross Perot was pretty damned well known before he played the spoiler and gave Clinton the plurality. I supported him for the Republican primary over Bush I but once he went third party, he gave the election to the Dems and they knew it. Evidence came out later that the Dems pulled some dirty tricks to make Perot believe the Bush's had run some dirty trick against his family in order to keep him separate and sucking away Republican votes.

It's not a matter of Libertarians winning, it's a matter of them or other independents sucking away or depressing GOP votes and thereby handing the elections -- and power -- to the Socialists Communists anti-Americans Democrats.

To flip the OP, I can't see why any thinking person would vote Libertarian in an election where their vote could actually count (i.e., if you're in San Francisco, LA, Detroit, or NYC then it probably doesn't matter so go ahead and make your protest).
