Yeah he taking his campaign seriously it seems, and it might have been a bigger buy than I gave it credit for as you are not the likely profile for a Republican primary voter I presume?

Good, but Johnson will go nowhere if he's not willing to commit himself to a pro-life position.

They probably tagged the words "politics" or "political science" which both appear in my profile...its unlikely that they tagged "Democratic Party."

Johnson has a PAC right?

Neither will win regardless but Gary Johnson won't get any attention unless Ron Paul rules out a run.

Both have a decent chance of winning the nomination and the presidency.

But Johnson shouldn't run if Paul does.

Yes, or at least a similar issue advocacy group.  Might be a 527 group, I don't remember.

I agree with the first quote. Johnson can use 2012 as a test, but it's impossible he gets the nomination. If he's actaully credible then maybe 2016, but his best chance is 2012 due to the libertarian swing of things and he still isn't getting it.

Paul has a chance this time (though still small) but I don't even know if he'll run because this time it wouldn't be to just make a point. I see him winning Nevada,challenging Romney in the west. 7% in the latest NH poll isn't helpful as he would need that state to have a true shot at the nom

Are you going to make him flip-flooping? Nasty.
