I just thought I knew a lot.
The PPP Johnson poll is a couple weeks old now, but it is logical to assume that Ron Paul supporters would disproportionately go to Johnson.
Even if Paul endorses Romney, which, as the article points out, will be hard for a principle-based Ron Paul to do.
This takes away from Romney support and with other candidates, including CP’s Virgil Goode, it is another reason why Romney is going to fail.
Unless the GOP wants to fail (which they might given the economy), they will replace Romney at the convention.
See: Ross Perot 1992.
Therefore, if we know going in that Romney will lose, then WHY STICK with Romney.
If Perot teaches us that Romney loses, then change the equation.
Dump Romney!
Why do they always trot out this hackneyed crap? What about real RKBA? Real tax reform? Restoring the FedGov to it's strict Constitutional limts? Real property Rights. Real freedom of Religion including the Right to not allow same sex marriage in their Churches...
Ron Johnson is going to prove to be about as viable on the Libertarian ticket as Bob Barr was in ‘08. A blip on the radar, nothing more.
Ron Paul would provide a much more serious challenge should he choose to pursue it. But I think some deal involving his son is in the works.
Is he ‘still’ in this? If so; ‘still’ getting Secret Service protection? (Have not heard any complaints of wasting our money from Fox News - as was Newt so criticized for doing so.) What part of the the pie might he want and perhaps get? If any. . .
Thought the Paul’s and Romney’s pretty good friends. . .if true; and suspect it is; how hard can it be?
I agree. There is no good reason for talking about marijuana use instead of RKBA other than propaganda purposes.
In the polls I’ve been looking at, even though Johnson and Goode are already selected candidates, they don’t poll except on Obama and Romney. The real ballot people will see will have Johnson and Goode on it.
I do believe lots of Paul’s support will gravitate to Johnson.
I don’t know about that sat sentence.
I’m still holding out hope for a brokered convention.
They won’t poll if the MSM ignores them. If either Goode or Johnson start getting air-time, that will change.
Gotta rise above the static. Not sure either can do so by just looking at their respective personalities...
The pollsters aren’t putting their names in. They are asking:
obama
romney
3rd party
Put Gary Johnson in that poll and ask yourself what the people of New Mexico will do?
Put Virgil Goode in that poll and what will be people of Virginia do?

Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
Happy Mom’s Week, Sister!
Thank you!
Rasmussen had a three way poll and Paul get 13%. I can’t wait to see what Obambi will do to screw with the judges in America in a second term. A bunch of Free Republic folks got upset with GWB because he did not veto spending BUT he did get Roberts as chief justice of the supreme court. He tried to insitute something like the Social Securtiy programs of Australia and Chili only to have loyal Republicans, like Luger and Hastert to shoot it down. someone tell the Ron Paul folks he has been an earmark congressman right along with Hastert and Gingrich.
