Re: Official Gary Johnson Discussion Thread

I think I'll vote GJ when it comes down to it. It would be sweet if he could make a splash and get some national attention. If he does, then gg R.Money.

Low Key said vs Obama, and I even added the head-to-head question. So, no, I haven't misparsed anything.

Damn that's weak. Did you get your money back?

Just saw the Colbert interview. One of his better performances, good simple talking points. I would be stoked if he could get on the debate stage.

No I've been giving them all reasonable time before filing a PayPal dispute. Still might not do it, just consider it a donation. But damn, whoever is running their shop is not taking it seriously. I could have had a sign up months ago.

Gary Johnson wins the LP nomination but still faces debate challenge


Former GOP Gov. Gary Johnson pulled an end run to get into the presidential elections by switching to the Libertarian Party and winning the party's nomination. But Johnson still faces the same challenge he had as a Republican -- trying to get to debate the top candidates.

The Commission on Presidential Debates tells Fox News a final determination will be made in early fall. But Johnson, the former New Mexico governor who supports gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana, appears to be facing long odds.

"We know what the challenges are," campaign spokesman Joe Hunter said Saturday. "To get the attention we believe we deserve, we have to stay relevant, say things that get people's attention."

Hunter said that like other third-party or second-tier candidates, Johnson has relied on the Internet to get out his message and on grassroots efforts, including a burgeoning unofficial campaign called Let Me Speak to get him into the debates.
