Independents tend to do really well in Alaska, so maybe Gary Johnson in the 5% range... if we're lucky. I could see:

Mitt Romney: 58%
Barack Obama: 35%
Gary Johnson: 5%
Others: 3%

It's easy to forget about Alaska, except when Sarah Palin opens her mouth.

I'm actually surprised that no Libertarian has attempted to base a large camp there and try to make a little bit of national noise with a good showing.

Lets not forget that Alaska actually elected a couple of Libertarians to the state legislature in the late 70's/early 80's.  Maybe Johnson's best state.

That's one of a couple of areas I'm really disappointed with the Johnson candidacy on. He's still made the Nader mistake of walking into non-Colorado non-Nevada swing states trying to get votes instead of camping out in states no one is paying attention to and building up a real showing, hopefully to have mega-coattails and improve in not-as-libertarian states.

Either Alaska or New Mexico. Second is probably Montana or Nevada.

Could we get Eskimo Pie to do an ice-cream version of 7-Eleven's coffee cup poll? Grin

It'll be interesting to see what happens here without Palin on the Republican ticket. There were actually some polls that showed it close in 2008 prior to the Palin pick, IIRC.
