Is there any indication as to what capacity Mr. Johnson is receiving funds in?  I know that he ran for the GOP nomination, and I'm pretty sure that unless the law has changed, the LP nominee doesn't get a check cut to his campaign from the matching pool.

He collected enough funds from enough different donors to qualify to recieve such funds.

Hopefully he manages to take away enough votes from Mittens.

Take em from Mittens? He's writing articles on the Huffington Post, and I was under the impression that's not exactly a Mittens-friendly area.

Is it just me, or are a lot of Floridian users here libertarian (whether a Libertarian Party member, or sympathetic to libertarian ideals)?

Also, wow, I'm slow, I just "got" what Chaddyr23 meant. Ha.

Think it's just you; however, this site probably skews libertarian in FL, just cause of liberal/libertarian being more young in general and the majority of Floridian voters being 55+.

They addressed that in the article.  The taxpayers volunteered to put their money in this fund, I don't see how it violates Libertarian principles to take advantage of that.
