Exactly we should run people for local and Congressional elections. We can win those. As far as being"spoilers", that implies the Republican Party owns people's votes, if they aren't voting Democratic. This is not how it works, but we have been under a duopoly for so long, I can understand that thinking.
But the minority gets it's say by being a spoiler. If we have a few votes in Congress, we could be the swing vote and stop a lot of nonsense. Ron Paul proved that if you remind people of the principles the country was founded on that made us great, they will respond. The work of the first few in Congress would cause people respond to a type of government they have never seen in their lifetime, an American form of government.
Folks, most of us Libertarians are NOT a Republican splinter group. Yes, there are some vocal "one issue Libertarians" (i.e, gun control, religious conservatism, immigration control) which have debate overlap with the Republicans. However, my own 20yrs as a Libertarian has shown me that nearly all Libertarians who act beyond argument and actually vote for Libertarian candidates are ultimately those who support the broader Libertarian platform -- shift from federal to local power, free movement of goods, services and labor (oops MinuteMen) and the efficiencies of free-market management of necessary public-good activities. In short, Libertarian votes will hammer McCain as thoroughly as Obama and Nader. Just keep the wack-jobs who don't vote anyways, off the airwaves.
