Re: Gary Johnson Part I: Why be slaves to a two-party system?
I would personally like to see the result of California's open primary.
IMHO, with that, it would allow a lot of room for options- since Left communities and Right communities could be more specific, center can be more bland, etc.
Let us all have open elections. First round, top 2, unless nobody clears 40%, then a 3 way final. Regardless of party.Comment

And yet it's GOP attorneys going into the courts to keep him off the ballots. I think there's about a half dozen states where they're fighting his ballot access, including Iowa and Nebraska.Originally posted by Kepler View PostComment

Didn't know anything about this guy. But he appears more likely to siphon from Romney even as his charts show him to be somewhat 'liberal'.

Potentially good. Or special interests. Potentially bad. But ideologically nuetral on the spectrum...I'll take that.Originally posted by FlagDUDE08 View PostFiscal conservatism is the draw.

Interesting how Ryan scores as just another right conservative and not the libertarian some think he is:Originally posted by 5mn_Major View Post

People actually thought he falls under the libertarian paradigm? He was only brought in to motivate the conservative base.Originally posted by Kepler View PostComment
