This would generate a very wierd map considering how badly Paul does amoung Republicans, yet how well he does amoung Independants.
I think there's a logically fallacy amongst libertarians that-
a) Fiscal conservativism appealing to the 'right'.
+
b) Social liberalism appealing to the 'left'.
??
PROFIT!!!
Whereas, really,
a) Fiscal conservatism turns off people who like social security and possibly roads.
b) Social liberalism turns off the religious right.
...meaning a libertarian campaign leaves virtually no-one happy but the small and vocal libertarian minority.
I don't think it's too much of a stretch, to imagine that a sizable percentage of Americans are socially liberal, and fiscally conservative. What one has to realize is that around half of American non-voters feel disenfranchised by the two-party system and the candidates they nominate.
