incidentally.....it's conventional wisdom amongst libertarians that the internet is the medium of choice for libertarian politics....
GOP/Dem Establishment - Mainstream Media, the ministry of truth;
Right Wingers - Simian Screeches of Radio Right
Hippie Left-wing Socialists - long-winded boring rants in obscure magazines;
Libertarians - the 'net.
So, it's no great surprise that a libertarian candidate shows well in a libertarian environment.
