I'm finding dburkhead's arguments persuasive. I like the idea of infiltrating the R's with libertarian candidates. Hell, I like the idea of infiltrating the D's the same way. In Oklahoma, it is just about the only way libertarians can get on the ballot, because our ballot access laws are stacked against third parties to an extreme that exists nowhere else I can think of.
That said, in 2004 I abstained from voting in the presidential race. We got Bush. In 2008 I swallowed every ounce of self-respect I had and voted McCain. We got Obama. So from my perspective, if I agree that Republicans are slightly less bad than Democrats, not voting at all produces better results.
