Libertarians could be the swing vote of '04.

This poll from Fox News shows Bush & Kerry neck and neck with 44% each, and "other" getting 10%. You would THINK that would mean both candidates would start trying to court third parties.

But then how can you court someone you've spent the last three years (in the case of Bush) or your entire adult lifetime (in the case of Kerry) alienating?

This story from TeFLON* suggests that support may already be hardening. This election could get mighty boring before November.
