I think tomorrow Clinton will be bragging about winning OH and possibly TX, but Obama will still be far ahead in the delegate count.
Cato is an organization I have supported in the past, a Libertarian thinktank. They have an interesting article on why libertarians might want to support Obama, that you can find here.
Their bottom line is that if your main issues are: Iraq withdraw, civil liberties, taking religion out of government, and reducing enforcement of victimless crimes you should vote for him.
The economics stance and the gun stance still bother me, but I think that the chances of him getting those types of things passed are close to nil. The Supreme Court will rule on the 2nd amendment this summer, which will either restrict our gun rights or enforce them, which means that either way the president's position won't matter.

Still, he could pass minor anti-gun laws and then it'll all turn out to be a major one. George W. got the troops in Iraq by being sneaky. Who says Obama won't do the same thing about our guns?
P.S. If the liberatarians support Obama, I'll vote McCain to show my disgust with them.
I think that while some independents, like you, will vote for McCain if Obama is the dem nominee, more will vote for McCain if Hillary is the nominee. A lot of people (myself included) just cannot stand her.
quite frankly, i am not sure if any candidate can firmly have an agenda. compromises always have to be made.
