Libertarians should make it a point to support and vote for Libertarian candidates. Only.
Unless there is some major flaw with the person, and there is none with our two Gubernatorial candidates.
OR, if we as a group, with the support of the endorsed official Libertarian candidate, vote for another candidate in a power sharing agreement.
For example, let's say that the election is close and Arnold thinks he could get over the top with the extra several percent we could bring to the table. He offers us
positions in his cabinet and makes certain policy pledges to us, in writing, publicly. In that case, it MIGHT make sense.
However, in this case, we have nothing to gain and everything to lose by following that strategy.
I might add that Tom McClintock, a friend of mine, is a FAR far better candidate than Arnold. The Teminator believes in cradle to grave care, including socialized medicine, education and retirement. While I will be voting for Ned Roscoe, Tom McClintock is a far better choice if you are going to be Machiavellian about your vote.
Me, I vote for the best candidate, regardless of their chances. That makes the biggest difference when votes are tallied. If you want Libertarians to have ballot access, get noticed by the press and to be included in debates, ONLY VOTE Libertarian.
