    Yeah, he sounds like an excellent candidate, although, I'd like to see his debates and a bit more exposure before I cast a vote for him.

    His chances are, unfortunately, very low. He's quite a straight-talking politician, and did his job as governor well. But if he gets into the debate, at least he'll occasionally shift the other candidates to have to take him seriously.

    A good Republican? *gasp* I never would have thunk it.

    Looks like 2012's version of Ron Paul.

    (even though Ron is running again...)

    but that would imply that gary johnson has alot of buzzword ideas, but not plans to back up and impliment the radically large changes he plans to restructuring nearly every aspect of america's existance.

    In fairness to Johnson, he has been a governor, so can back up what he's saying pointing to what he's done in similar cases before with executive power.

    Lets hope he can have a plan, instead of ron paul, who has radical buzz words for dismantling goverment, but never seems to have a answer ready for what would be put in place after his chopping block approch to governing.

    Ron Paul's a pretty hardcore libertarian. I doubt he wants to put anything in place of the remains of government.
