The choice is ours. Julian Sanchez makes a decent case for libertarians to support Howard Dean, despite all the cruel things we’ve said about the old boy over here. The strategic point seems to be that libertarians increase their significance by becoming swing voters; the tactical reassurance is that Dean could not be much worse than Bush and would likely be much better. Why? As I put it in a Backtalk response to a fuming Deanie:
[H]e’s an interventionist through and through, all right, but if you put a knife to my throat and forced me to choose between Dean and Bush, or Dean and Lieberman, I’d pull the Dean lever and hope that congressional Republicans would oppose his every move. Feel free to quote me on that in your campaign literature.
