If somebody put a gun to my head...
...and said, "your vote or your life," I would vote Obama. Why? For purely strategic reasons. It would be better for the Liberty Movement if Obama wins because then there will be a Republican primary in 2016, which we have a chance of winning. Whereas, if Romney wins, and chooses to run for a second term, we either have to challenge a sitting Republican President for the Republican nomination (much harder than winning an open primary), or wait four more years until 2020. Secondly, bad things are going to be happening in the next four years in this country, and it would be better for us if those things happened during a Democratic administration, so that the free market does not get blamed, as it would if those things happened during a GOP administration (however absurd and illogical that is, that's how it would be perceived - exhibit A, Bush's laissez faire policies [haha] are still blamed for the current economic crisis).
