Former two-term New Mexico governor Gary Johnson is upset that he isn't getting much attention in his presidential run. Yet, rather than being upset, he should realize that there are several very libertarian candidates running in the Republican presidential race: Ron Paul and on many issues Michele Bachmann. From Politico:
According to a Public Policy Polling survey of New Mexico conducted Dec. 10-12, Johnson as a Libertarian candidate could impact the vote in his home state.
PPP found Johnson would draw between 26 and 30 percent of GOP votes, between 12 and 16 percent of Democratic votes and win independents, in a race with either Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich as the GOP nominee.
Johnson on the ballot would help Obama win New Mexico, typically a swing state, by a 17-point margin, PPP found.
