according to research, libertarians vote libertarian, if there is no libertarian, they split amongst dems and repubs.
Where does the Libertarian vote go?

if you have research to the contrary, i'd read it. i'm also still up for seeing that one post of yours siding with a conservative view. and not banning guns isn't conservative, very very few dems advocate banning guns.
