“As a libertarian committed to the defeat of John McCain, I’ll be pissed if we’re left with Hillary Clinton as our last, best hope.” - rs

Ryan,
How do you reconcile this position, as a libertarian who has also, in the past, acknowledged the value of divided government to limit the growth of the state?

The choice it 2008, is not Obama or Clinton vs. McCain. It is:

Obama (or Clinton) Pelosi Reid
-vs-
McCain Pelosi Reid

I am also not happy about McCain being the “last best choice” against a unified single party Democratic government with expanded majorities in both houses of congress and a real possibility of a filibuster proof 60 vote plurality in the Senate. Tell me why that is not worse than a McCain presidency?
