The short version is that control of the Senate will allow us to block nutcase obama judicial appointments, and perhaps even rein in other outrages.
The problem is that control of the Senate rests with several close races where Libertarian candidates threaten to tip the elections to liberal democrats. This is always a tough dilemma. Vote for your principles or vote for the best realistically obtainable option? For me, it's pretty easy this election. Obama has already given us a taste of the damage he's prepared to inflict on the country. Is it really worth it to give him free rein, just so you can feel good about voting for some fringe candidate who has no chance of getting elected? By all means, push for your libertarian beliefs and support candidates, just not for tight Senate races with control of the Senate hanging in the balance. Ann puts it more bluntly:
"The biggest current danger for Republicans is that idiots will vote for Libertarian candidates in do-or-die Senate elections, including Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Colorado. (That's in addition to the "Independent" in Kansas who's a Democrat.) Democratic candidates don't have to put up with this crap -- they're even trying to dump the official Democrat in Kansas to give the stealth Democrat a better shot.
When we're all dying from lack of health care across the United States of Mexico, we'll be deeply impressed with your integrity, libertarians.
Which brings me to my final assignment this week: If you are considering voting for the Libertarian candidate in any Senate election, please send me your name and address so I can track you down and drown you. "
Haha, she's kidding about that last part, I think. http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2014-09-17.html#read_more
