Is Gary Johnson the best Libertarian candidate in the party's history?

[Donerail]

Isn't a real libertarian and won't win more than .5% of the vote, so a definite NO.

Your input is greatly valued.

Go back and look at his record, he's not a libertarian by any means.  Terrible candidate for the libertarian party.

He's far better than, say, Chuck Baldwin.

I've read quite a bit of denninger's (hard core libertarian) analysis of Johnson and would conclude he's a terrible candidate.

That's the point. He's not a hard-core libertarian; he can actually win, which makes him a good candidate.

And Johnson is a Libertarian; he held office as a Republican (Governor) but he was registered Libertarian the entire time he held office.

What?!

He's actually a credible candidate who can win a larger portion of the popular vote than any LP candidate before him.
