This election should give us more of a read on that.


that's true. I haven't looked at polling number on Ron Paul or Gary Johnson but id imagine the demographics would be telling. Although there is no way to tell (and it is more likely the libertarian would post thier views on facebook as there was a less negative connotation to them rather than Romney or Obama), social media prior to last election was just as much pro ron paul and gary johnson as it was pro obama and Romney.

Personally, I think they were just naive

not disagreeing.. think that is kind of the reason why they are pro libertarian at this point. Dem's have fooled em in Obama. many didn't vote for Bush but many still blame him for alot of problems. and the republicans have not helped them selves out with Congress's action or lack of action.
They don't like Obama. Think the Republicans are just as dumb and not in favor of social issues that young people like. so libertarian.

kind of like a no other option thing

Yes, I can agree that for many, and not just the young, that Libertarian may be the only available option now. Though most of those Libertarians still have the R next to their name. So they have to look at the baggage that goes with that.

It's a shame that a viable 3rd party can not be established in this country.
