The debate on Friday included only Lee Wrights and Gary Johnson - not sure if anyone else is left but they are probably the only serious candidates at this point.

Gary Johnson is expected to win and select Judge Jim Gray (who endorsed Gary) as VP

 

[Bman]

I'll have a heck of a lot easier time voting for Gary as a third party candidate than Barr or Baldwin in 2008. Wish it would mean something more than it will.

Someone nominated Ron Paul

 

[PaulSoHard]

For Libertarians, I thought the VP was selected by the convention, not by the presidential nominee. Has this been changed?

Lol I had just turned to CSPAN when he said Ron Paul. Didn't take long for a Second either.

It is selected by convention but during Gary's acceptance speech he requested that people select Jim Gray as VP

 

[Liberty_Mike]

Well, if Ron Paul's name doesn't make the ballot in 2012, I'll be voting for Johnson/Gray.

 

[Indy Vidual]

A good ticket for the LP this time.

 

[green73]

Newt Gingrich!!!!! I mean Bob Barr!!!!

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

when RP gets the nomination for the GOP.. the libertarians better endorse RP.

With GOP, independents, former obama democrats, and libertarians.. no way we can lose the general elections.

 

[cindy25]

the best Libertarian ticket since 1988; a Plan B if Romney wins in Tampa?

 

[tfurrh]

Did anyone catch the cross dressers? I spotted several. It was a little weird watching it with my wife's grandmother, trying to explain how libertarianism is great, how Reagan said it was the heart of conservatism....then bam.

 

[Agorism]

He'll probably be a reasonably strong candidate. idk if as good as Harry Brown but whatever.

 

[francisco]

What happenned to Bill Still?

 

[Roy Bleckert]

A good ticket for the LP this time.
