I love how these people think Gary Johnson somehow stands a chance of getting more than 3% of the vote.

Believe me, I wish he could win, but he can't.
I think he can take up to 10%. He is not charismatic, agreed, but this is the year of the third party. Not only will Johnson take about 5% of the vote, but Roemer will likely come very close (but not surpass) 1.0%, and Anderson, Stein, and Goode will be well under 1%.

Gary Johnson is trying to make himself sound like a fwucking Bill Weld-style Republican.  Yuck.  I really hope that Wrights guy beats him.

That was the phoniest speech I've ever heard in my entire life.

Why are you guys hating on Johnson? I were a registered Libertarian, I would be thinking that these are the most exciting times since Christ was born in Bethleham! I am rooting for Johnson, though Wrights and Burns are good guys too.

He's trying to excite a base that's been as stagnant as a statue since the 1970's. He thinks he can win, but he can't.

His speech was full of meaningless platitudes and he didn't take a single "unconventional" position at all.

Jim Libertarian Burns, who legally changed his middle name to Libertarian. I kid you not.

No wonder I ditched this party.

I lean towards the Constitution Party, but what I really want is a Paulite Party or something of that nature. That was a tranny.

A Paulite Party wouldn't get more than a few thousand members, max. Was he really a tranny?

Johnson is winning in a landslide, greater than 75% so far.

"The Pennsylvania Libertarian Party, the state that kicked Rick Santorums ass out of the Senate, cast its votes for Gary Johnson"....

How do they determine how many votes each state gets?  South Dakota has 4 and Rhode Island has 1?

If third parties ever want any credibility becoming the platform for candidates who failed to win a "real" party's nomination might not be the right way to go.
