Gary Johnson 2012.

I love the Big Johnson, and would be happy to vote for him in an election that he stands a snowball's chance in hell of winning. That, unfortunately, is not this election. Fuck, they wouldn't even let him debate back when he was running as a republican. What chance does he stand as the libertarian nominee?

I'll vote for him on principle. Romney and Obama represent two different types of shit to me.

This is not unexpected. He got his value from the increase in public awareness of his name, and he's better set up for the future.

One of Santorum's surrogates was on TV today, and gave the impression that they don't think Willard is going to win, so Santorum is setting himself up for another run in 2016.

I hear you, I agree with you, and I really was going to do the same thing. But I fear the country cannot withstand another four years of spraying Miracle-Gro® on the culture of government dependency.

Mittens has his own supply of the shit, but it is not the high-test stuff.

I reserve the right to change my mind between now and November.

So you'd prefer to get trickled down on by the 1%.

Aka the Wayne Allyn Root position?

This new proportional representation jazz would be more interesting if you had 3 or 4 good candidates instead of a big Republican clown car full of bozos.

Yes, exactly. Except I don't want him to be the libertarian candidate in 2016.

Whomever the libertarians nominate this year, that person will not win. So the goal is to have something left worth running about in four years.

Things ARE changing, though. People are listening to the Gary Johnsons and Rand Pauls, instead of just dismissing them as nut cases. Not a huge number of people, but more every day.

We may have already reached the "free cheese" tipping point, in which case it doesn't matter who is elected. But if there is even a slim chance that we haven't, the sad but best option is to elect Shitty rather than Shittier.

I flirted with the 1% for a long time all on my own. Then I married the real deal 1%.

None of that changed my world view, because I never felt entitled to other people's money.

I know somebody who worked in the same building in DC where he has one of his offices. She's met him a bunch of times and said he's a total douche.

It doesn't seem as though Gingrich and Paul got the memo, as they seem to be intending to stay in the race.

Paul's crazy, and Gingrich probably wants Romney to help him with his finances in exchange for quitting, much like Santorum apparently does.

He who?

Rick Santorum

I am left once again choosing between the lesser of two evils

I am, too, which is why I'll vote for Obama.

I respect you, and I respect your political choices.

So THERE!!!
