In my opinion, the best thing that can happen for any true Libertarian or third party candidate would be to elect Romney.
Then assuming that in four years the problems that exist today still exist four years from now, a third party candidate could make a major push by merely suggesting, "Obama or Romney, it doesn't matter. The same results. More cronyism. More class warfare. More broken promises. More of the same status quo which has existed in our political system for the last decade."
Plenty of my moderate/independent friends are voting for Romney for the simple fact that NOTHING has changed (in fact it's gotten worse) over the course of Obama's first term.
When nothing changes after 4 years of Romney/Ryan, then perhaps a Libertarian or third party candidate could have a shot.
