Most of Sarvis' support came from those identifying as moderate.

20% of voters identified as liberal and 36% conservative. Multiply that by the percentage that voted for Sarvis and 1.4% of all voters identified as liberal and voted for Sarvis, while 1.08% identified as conservative and voted for Sarvis. Due to rounding we can't even be sure of that insignificant .32% difference.

REAL libertarians don't have a knee jerk reaction to the liberal label that fake ones, like grind, do. Libertarians are market liberals and socially liberal. So, I would guess more of the hardcore libertarians who never would vote for either candidate, identified as liberal rather than conservative.

But altogether I think it indicates his effect was likely even but his voters are still difference makers. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/local/2013-elections/exit-polls/
 
string one day you just need to admit you are a democrat. it'll make you feel much better.

You should really give up on that and maybe I will choose to cut you a break. I have way more libertarian bonafides then you do. I have voted for and financially supported more Republicans than Democrats. Meanwhile, you oppose freedom of movement, think Catholics/Christians deserve some sort of special rights, support big government subsidies for sports teams, you are generally tolerant of corporate welfare and you grabbed your ankles and spread em when they came door to door in Boston. You even seem to be abandoning your support of legalized marijuana.
