Aside from gay marriage, I'd say as an individual, economic policies that are very non-libertarian effect me much more than marijuana laws and abortion, which WILL NOT be overturned and is NOT a primary issue for most practical Republican candidates because there are much bigger fish to fry right now. My point is OF COURSE they caucus with the Republicans because economic, property rights are fundamental and effect people much more drastically and completely than do laws against smoking pot, let's be honest. As far as the gay marriage issue, my personal opinion is opposition is waning or at least it's simply not viewed as an important focal point for those that are more concerned with debt, spending, economic growth/freedom, etc.
