Does anyone have any data on how they voted in '08?  I've found data that showed voters describing themselves as libertarians went for Bush 72-20 and 59-36 in '00 and '04, respectively.  For 2008, I've only been able to find a pre-election poll that showed libertarians favoring Obama over McCain 53-38.

Where is this pre-election poll? How did they decide who was a libertarian? Obama was the most un-libertarian candidate in the race.

Hey "libertarian leaning voters" voted 75% for Nixon over McGovern, doesn't mean Nixon was more libertarian than McGovern.
Just saying.

Of course, so you are agreeing with me, correct?

I voted for Obama, and I'm still relatively unapologetic about it.

You don't regret voting for some who hasn't withdrawn from Iraq and Afghanistan, expanded the latter war into Pakistan, continued the illegal detainment of people in Bagram Air Base and Gitmo, and approved the reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act?

Of course he doesn't. All that matters to Einzige is that he has a (D) after his name.
