If people actually knew what libertarians stand for, and did not worry about 'wasting their vote' on a 3rd party, how much of the popular vote do you think a libertarian presidential candidate could win?
I think easily 20-25% could be persuaded. Current republicans who favor low taxes and fiscal responsibility over moral issues could be persuaded .. democrats who favor social freedoms over government programs like social security ... and many people who do not vote at all currently, due to seeing little choice in our two party system, would like enough of the libertarian ideas to give them their vote.
