I had the pleasure of meeting Gov. Johnson at my brother’s graduation at TVI (now CNM). He strikes me as the real deal, and if he is really interested in running, I’m on board. He was a darn good governor in NM, as well.
With the possible exception of Palin (the jury’s still out on her, IMO) ALL of the other widely mentioned candidates are frankly about as inspiring as Bob Dull. Romney: Gun grabbing socialist Masshole RINO. Huckleberry: TV preacher socialist RINO. Jeb: Another Bush, no thanks. Rooty Toots: Fuhgeddaboutit! Graham: HAHAHAHA! Right. Crist: HAHAHAH! OMG, yer killin’ me!
The Repubs had better get someone out in front who has a pair, and right now the only contenders I see are Palin, and possibly Johnson right now. I DON’T want another Dole/Clinton election. Obamugabe must be stopped.
agreed 100%. I dont think Palin can win those blue states, you just know the media will p*ss all over her and she will flounder under scrutiny. Johnson would be a more formidable candidate and with his positions on certain issues would embarass Obama and completely undermine him
I really have doubts as to whether he’s all that gung ho for 2012. I know he has said in the past he might be interested, but he seems to be having way too much fun just having fun ~ mountain climbing all over the world and lots of other very physical pursuits. I think he’s enjoying retirement but I could be wrong.
