By now, about everyone knows that Libertarian Bruce Guthrie has pumped over a million dollars into his U.S. Senate campaign, which enabled him to get into a key debate in that race. During the debate, he disagreed with Republican Mike McGavick for his views on Iraq, but he hammered on Democratic incumbent Maria Cantwell for taking the Kerry-like waffle on the issue.

The GOP candidate is now running a commercial which begins this way:

"On Iraq, Bruce Guthrie and Aaron Dixon have the guts to say what they think. They say let's get the troops out now. But Maria Cantwell, it's just politics..."

Watch it here.

Libertarians have a history of determining the outcome in Washington elections. It's interesting that the Republican candidate gets this and is using the LP to help split the anti-war vote in the state.
