Correct and from what I hear there was a lot of protest votes that went to Ashford as well. His history of having been a Republican and talking conservative on some tax issues has helped him pick up some of the centrist protest votes while the more constitutional conservative protest vote went Libertarian. Lots to learn from this race for those that do that stuff.

If Lee Terry had been more of a friend to liberty, he might have gotten those votes. Instead they went to a protest candidate. That is what happens when a mediocre candidate runs in a close contest.
But FWIW, there is no persuasive evidence that Libertarian Party candidates pull more from the right than the left. Libertarianism contains something to offend everyone (who isn't a libertarian, that is): anti-prohibitionism and social liberty to anger the Right, and free markets and personal responsibility to drive the Left up the wall.

Oh I agree. I'm one of the ones who voted for Laird. I grew up as a republican but over the years my politics have evolved into "live your life any way you see fit, just don't force me to pay for it". For me, Terry's stance on SOPA turned me sour. And I'll admit his "Dang Straight" comments didn't help.

Basically don't make it hard for yourself by saying "Dang straight, I got a nice house and a kid in college!" during a government shutdown... i also feel like he should've showed the government shutdown time line showcasing Obama’s DOD not following the law that was passed to pay the troops and link that to Ashford/Pelosi.
AWick:
So how did the NFOA-PAF endorsed candidates do?
