Vermin Supreme will get more votes.

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.

That won't help unless the open primary is IRV.

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.

Re: Gary Johnson Part I: Why be slaves to a two-party system?
Fiscal conservatism is the draw.
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'.
Gary from ontheissues.com:
Fiscal conservatism is the draw.
Re: Gary Johnson Part I: Why be slaves to a two-party system?
Potentially good. Or special interests. Potentially bad. But ideologically nuetral on the spectrum...I'll take that.
As I said, know nothing about this guy.

Interesting how Ryan scores as just another right conservative and not the libertarian some think he is:

People actually thought he falls under the libertarian paradigm? He was only brought in to motivate the conservative base.

I highly doubt special interests is the draw, unless you consider Constitutionally protected individual liberties to be a special interest. Granted, you can't get away from special interests anywhere on the political spectrum. It isn't like the Democrat shoot-off known as the Green party that mostly focuses on environmental issues; that's definitely special interests. The same could also be said for New York State's Working Families party, Independence party, or Conservative party; I'm sure your state have similar party differences.

Re: Gary Johnson Part I: Why be slaves to a two-party system?
Each party has its special interests. Its just the choice of those interests. If you say the GOP has special interests of big oil, military industrial complex and major banks...its difficult to say whether its driven by causes or money. Its not hard to say why the Dems are looking at unions and environmental companies as its not where you want to be if your looking for hand outs.

Most of Johnson's voters will be stoned to the bejeezus come election day, and therefore might have trouble making it to the polls unless they're handing out free snacks that day.
If you follow the lamestream media's mantra that this will be a "50/50" election, then you can buy into the hype about Gary Johnson being a factor. I personally don't think this election will be any closer than 2004 one way or the other, hence the 500 votes Johnson wins will not be decisive. I'd be more interested in former VA Congressman Virgil Goode (D to I to R-Liberty U) and his impact in Virginia since he just made the ballot. That has the potential to be a very close race.

Then perhaps it's time to see the death of the Democrat party and the rise of the Socialist party?

Obama is less of a socialist than GW Bush was. But, all I ever hear nowadays is the term socialist. Which Obama isn't, and the US isn't and has never been.
