An Australian, Marcus Westbury, sees them everywhere in his own network of friends. There's a lot of Obama in his definition. And this Rasmussen poll is fascinating:

Libertarian voters make up 4% of the nation’s likely voters and they favor Barack Obama over John McCain by a 53% to 38% margin. Three percent (3%) would vote for some other candidate and 5% are not sure...  Fifteen percent (15%) of all voters are fiscally moderate and socially liberal. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of these voters are women and they are more likely than most voters to have completed college and to have attended graduate school. They favor Obama by an 80% to 13% margin.
