Gary Johnson
Oct 19, 2012 — Third-party candidates could end up affecting the outcome of the presidential race, as Ralph Nader did in Florida in 2000. Libertarian Gary Johnson could siphon votes away from both candidates in several battleground states, and the Constitution Party's Virgil Goode could make a difference in Virginia.
Oct 6, 2012 — To this day, getting a third-party candidate into a presidential debate is practically impossible. So we invited two of the third-party candidates — Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party and Jill Stein from the Green Party — to a debate of our own.
Sep 26, 2012 — Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson will be on the ballot in November in at least 47 states.

Dec 30, 2011 — Robert Siegel speaks with Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico. He tells Robert why he decided to end his GOP presidential bid and instead seek the Libertarian nomination for president.
Sep 23, 2011 — Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson's joke about his neighbors' two dogs creating more shovel-ready jobs than the Obama administration has is at least 21 years old (in dog years.) It actually seems to date back two human years.
