All Gary Johnson needs is 5%

Give him 5! Let's put another party on the same playing field and end the 2 party monopoly!

And remember! (the 1st comment)

Perot ran INDEPENDANT... like with no party... Thus even if he get alot of percentage that doesn't make the party continue since there is no party.

Gary Johnson is running for Libertarians. Which mean if he hit 5% next year the Libertarian candidate will get the same budget as Obama and Romney, full ballot access and be on the debate.

With all that it not hard to get 5% again, then 4 year later it repeat it self. The point is the libertarian are part of the election every year no matter what.

He'll hit about .5%

Would be cool to see it happen.Zeviander

He'll hit about .5%

hoola

lol

public financing is a joke

Obama and Romney both opted out of it because it was a waste of their time

two-party system is not going to be gotten rid of at the two-party's ballot box

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"]How did Gary Johnson do in the debate versus Obama & Romney? Hokie told me that he would be there. KC_Hokie

I'm voting for Gary Johnson!KC_Hokie

Me too. Both Obama & Romney can kiss my ass.

I could potentially see myself voting Libertarian in the future. But, for the time being, I love the Republican Party and I'm going to be sticking with that.

it makes me sad that people think Gary johnson has a chance at getting anywhere near the presidency

Though to be honest public financing seems like a rather unlibertarian goal to seek.

Who is Gary Johnson, and why would I throw my vote away on a candidate who has no chance of winning?

I live in the real world, where American elections are about picking the lesser of two evils, because only complete scumbags make it far enough in politics to run for president. Obama is currently the lesser of two evils. Romney seems intent on turning the US into some kind of Randian dystopia.

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] Why would you throw your vote away on a candidate with a history of massive civil rights violations (Obama), or a candidate who has no problem with Obama's history of massive civil rights violations (Romney)? And a chance of winning? Only one person will win, and it isn't determined by chance. It's determined by the votes. The point of an election is voting for the person you think should hold a certain office, not voting for the person you think will win anyways.Laihendi

i.e., if we keep the nut cases from having 5% of the ballot, we don't even have to talk to them

AWESOME

Be nice to have a legitimate third party.
