I for one would be way more likely to vote for Gary Johnson over Obama.
If it was Obama v. Republican v. Johnson would you vote for any of the Republican nominees?
Would Johnson even take away votes from Republicans really?
I feel like he would attract Ron Paul voters and hippy libertarian types, ie people whose views are not represented by normal Democrats or Republicans.
He might be a 3rd party candidate who doesn't affect the 2 major parties at all, whatever % he gets.
I bet he could get at least 1% nationally, if Bob Barr got .4%.
Amazing though, how little coverage this successful 2 term governor has gotten just because he's come out for Marijuana legalization. That issue freakin kills you with the MSM.
I think the Republicans nominating a pro-weed Republican would be totally badass, regardless of my own pro or anti position on the issue. He'd definitely have a bigger base of support than Barr given he'd have the Paulites better lined up being a through-and-through Libertarian as opposed to Bob Barr and being a former two-term Governor. In all likelihood I'd support the GOP nominee (I won't be able to vote), but would be rooting for Johnson to get a couple percentage points regardless of the outcome. I like third parties.
