Libertarian Badnarik an Election Spoiler?

Mr. Slippery writes "The New York Sun points out that Libertarian Party candidate Michael Badnarik could tip the balance in this year's presidental election, like Ralph Nader is accused of having done in 2000. Bush's policies may be driving some traditional conservative Republican voters into the Libertarian camp. Rasmussen polls have put him as high as 5% in New Mexico and 3% in Nevada, which could make a difference in which major party candidate takes those states."

    I mean, is it too much to hope that Badnarik could win a state? Or two? or 50? :P

    I belive that all people have an equal right to the basics -- food, shelter, health, happyness, love, others.

    How are the Democrats going to implement this? Nookie Stamps? WhoreCorps? Hooker subsidies? Girlfriend quotas? More seriously, what do you think the government's should do to provide equality of love? Have social workers going around giving people hugs?
