Quite a large number of my Texas friends voted Libertarian this time around. Like many others they are simply disenchanted with the offerings of the current 2 party system. Their goal is to give the L party enough votes to reach the threshold for federal election funding and to be invited to the debates. Basically, they want to create a viable 3rd party. Given that Texas electoral votes are a foregone conclusion, I don't see any downside. I do agree with Larry, '92 was a unique election in which Perot pulled enough votes from GHWB that Clinton won only 43% of the popular vote yet accrued 370 electoral votes.
