Given that Obama and McCain are virtually identical in terms of the policies they'd implement if elected, does it even matter?

Rest of the ticket had a surprising number of Libertarians. Almost all the candidates were and, the ones who weren't, had CP candidates, so I voted for those.
Well, I can hardly argue with "because Paul said so." Ron Paul is a great guy and a valiant public servant in congress. His family are also lovely people. I had the opportunity to meet many of them on the campaign trail with him.

So you were voting against... everyone but Barr and Baldwin?

Check if write-ins are allowed in your state. Some states count them, others don't. Some states only count write-ins who registered as write-ins. Some states only count write-ins who tried to get on the ballot but failed. There's a good resource over at Ballot Access News by Richard Winger.
