So in the final analysis on November 6, what will he have accomplished? I doubt that anyone who votes for him would have voted for Obama had he not been running.
If he gets 5% of the popular vote,the Libertarian party will be eligible for matching funds in 2016 from FEC.
It is a large pot.96 million split between Republicans and Democrats this year.In 2016 it could be split 3 ways.5% of the popular vote is all the libertarians need.
That alone is worth the vote in my opinion given who the Republicans and Democrats keep running.It would make a 3rd party viable.
