I’ll enlighten you: Gary Johnson has zero chance at becoming President. You can find many good Conservatives across the country... doesn’t mean they can draw a crowd, rake in cash and win against Obama. Johnson may be a fine guy... if he (or anyone else) wants to have a shot at 2012 they need to step up nationally now. He is in obscurity and will do worse than... mmmh.... Ron Paul. That’s reality. I remember well the “internet” crowd and rah-rah optimism of the Ron Paul folks in the primaries. A flash in the pan...

IMHO, if 7 out of 10 think Palin is unqualifed she has even steeper hill to climb that Johnson. Not many folks knew who Obama was at this point four years ago either.

Three years out, what probability would you say Palin has? Yet she is adored here.

Last year it was Duncan Hunter. What probability did he realistically have?

This website doesn’t rule out potential candidates because they don’t have a realistic chance; often it embraces them.

I read about Johnson. Some think the GOP might find a future by adopting olde school fiscal conservatism, which Johnson and Ron Paul support.

Also he served out his elected terms as Governor of New Mexico, if I recall.

The anti war pot heads on FR would rather support this POS
and see another 9/11.
