Gary Johnson has twice the gubernatorial experience of Mitt Romney, and he governed in a state a little closer to the political center. He has more experience than Barack Obama did when he ran for president in 2008. Johnson was permitted to debate in one of the many Republican match-ups, and did quite well (which makes you wonder why he was only invited to one).
A poll by the group "We Ask America" released on June 26 in Colorado shows a neck-and-neck race between Johnson and Obama. Obama leads 46 percent to 43 percent in this Western swing state, but it is within the margin of error. That makes this Rocky Mountain state a toss-up, right? But Johnson wasn't listed in the headlines of the poll.
It's the same story with a Rasmussen Reports poll. The June survey of Colorado voters shows both candidates knotted at 45 percent in the Centennial State. Johnson isn't mentioned.
When the Public Policy Polling results from June shows Obama with a 49 percent to 42 percent lead include Johnson in the mix the results show Obama leads 47 percent to 39 percent in Colorado, with Johnson picking up 7 percent points.
Now PPP polls lean left the way Rasmussen leans right. But they don't lean libertarian. Johnson's strength, where he is best known, could be a factor.
No doubt in my mind at all on who I am voting for should RP not get the nomination. Romney can't beat Obama and people should wake up! All he can do is outspend him.

+12Because the main stream media "news" lies to everyone. A lie is a lie whether it is reporting incorrect information or omitting it. They want to elect another president for us. If you can not see this you are blind.
This is what I think about MSM "news" and the "Ron Paul Blackout"
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. " ~ Mark Twain
who do we believe? the liar in chief? or the guy that he has to muddy?
really. i get it. in our earlier conversation, i could have sworn that you said that you'd write in RP under any circumstance. to see you talk about voting Johnson shows that you are moving.
i can't imagine you ever saying 'anyone but Obama' but as we get closer to November, maybe a second, even more disastrous Obama term, will be so awful to consider, that you'd hold your nose and vote Romney.
who knows? maybe he WILL work out...
Here's a headline from an Obama - left wing article. I don't think there is any way in hell Romney can beat Obama ... I think he's been a shill all along and he was probably too dumb or arrogant to see it ...
"Romney Adviser Agrees With Obama: Individual Mandate Is Not A Tax"
For once, the Obama administration and the Romney campaign seem to agree: the mandate in the Affordable Care Act is a penalty, not a tax.
On MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown” this morning, Romney’s senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom — best known for his “Etch a Sketch” gaffe — was grilled by host Chuck Todd over Romney’s true beliefs on the individual mandate. Fehrnstrom talked around the point for a few minutes, but he finally relented and gave away the game:
FEHRNSTROM: The governor believes that what we put in place in Massachusetts was a penalty and he disagrees with the court’s ruling that the mandate was a tax.
TODD: But he agrees with the president that it is not — and he believes that you should not call the tax penalty a tax, you should call it a penalty or a fee or a fine?
FEHRNSTROM: That’s correct.

In order to be truely open-minded and informed you have to listen to the other side too. To vote party for party's sake in today's economy is insanity.
i'm not getting into what Chief Justice Roberts dreamed up. a meaningless distinction about a bill that should have been killed outright.
i'm still left to take Romney at his word. Obamacare is dead on day one...
I don't for the life me understand how you can keep defending him ... is there Romulan kool-aid now being passed out to those who refuse to see that the DEM/GOP Progressive Socialist Party are one in the same. Anyone they support will stay the course of taking down America for profit.
I'm also expecting the Federal Gov't to collapse, economically, between the RNC and the General "Election".

I've also tried to get you to watch a 3min-39sec video with a better explanation of what's really going on, but insist on participating in the 'militarily-held democracy' that isn't design to run from the bottom-up.
As for the Mark Twain quote, I'm well ahead of that curve.

Perhaps not more than Romney, but still the better qualified candidate overall.

Another problem is the Tea Party's "admin Rev Larry W." - I hope you caught his blistering long putdown against Ron Paul on PAN, which sure doesn't help us at the TP. That pretty well turned me off on them! But I digress.
