Great speech! He's speaking at UC Berkeley today, and I wasn't able to go (so this is the next best thing).

He's got my vote already, and I just sent a donation to his campaign.

Sheesh, didn't they make a transcript? My link is buggy today

Just curious, but do you like to waste money?

I don't expect Gary Johnson to win, if that's what you're asking. But I like his message and he needs all the help he can get with making it public.

I like his message, too, and I thank you for sending the money. But don't rule out the possibility of him winning. Stranger things have happened.

What's stranger than a Libertarian beating an incumbent president?

They need to get more than 0% of the vote before they can even think about actually winning.

 

[dudalb]

Yeah,Johnson will be lucky to end up with 2% of the vote.

Funny, that is what we heard from the Ron Paul supporters.

Ralph Nader on line two...something about "he thought of this first".

 

[Magyar]

I was not going to sit through a 22 min video so I googles his website and listened to the first 10 seconds of his conspiracy theory,. Now I DEMAND those 10 seconds back!

 

[Spindrift]

Stranger things have happened.

Name one.

 

[SkepticalDrew]

Both candidates could be involved in major sex scandals (with each other, even!) and a Libertarian still would not win.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Please, send this guy lots of money so he can leach more votes from Mitt!!

 

[Baylor]

Name one.

An actor with no political knowledge winning two presidential elections by landslides.

When did that happen?

Hmm... Stein is thinking she might somehow get 5% of the vote this election. Perhaps she's being overly optimistic, but as I understand it, that's the number 3rd parties shoot for because of some kind of funding boost. I have no idea where Johnson might be at on %.
