Former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson said today he is running for president in 2012.
Johnson, a Republican who was governor from 1995 to 2003, made his announcement on the steps of the State House in Concord, N.H. On Twitter a short while ago, his staff tweeted for him:
First time to say it. "I am running for president."
Johnson has libertarian views and is perhaps best known for his efforts to legalize marijuana and for cutting New Mexico's budget and taxes. He's been traveling to early presidential contest states such as Iowa and New Hampshire talking about the nation's debt and U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and Libya.
Johnson now runs Our American Initiative, a political organization seeks to "enlighten the population about civil liberties, free enterprise, limited government, and traditional American values."
He is not well-known outside of his home state. Among Republicans, former governors Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota have announced their presidential exploratory committees for 2012.

yawn, all politicians are so.
If the writeup on him in Wiki is accurate, he has my vote.
He starts speaking at 1:39:
At CPAC 2010:
I like this guy. Laugh all you want, he could easily gain traction.
I could easily throw my vote away on a principled non-en y like Gary Johnson.
What if he gets the GOP nomination? Would that be throwing your vote away?
A very unlikely prospect. Fella can dream tho.
Same here.
http://www.slate.com/id/2291703/pagenum/allThe problem is that [Ron] Paul still wants to run for president. At last check, his advisers said he was 60/40 on a new presidential run. He's RSVP'd to the first Republican primary debate, scheduled for May 5 in South Carolina. He has already raised millions of dollars. The last report for Johnson's PAC, Our America, reported only $205,000 raised, and most of it spent, in the last quarter of 2010.
ibidOnly 14 percent of Republicans have the faintest idea of who he is. Half of them don't like him.
Naturally. He has heretical views on the drug war and the perpetual war.
After living in NM I'm hesitant to vote for any MFer who has run this state.
They booed him at his rally for wanting to look at legalizing marijuana.
He's not running. It's crazy talk! Crazy talk!

Too bad the hypocritical tea party can't call out the hypocritical republican bags or the hypocritical fox news.
Who?
Now, Johnson will seek the Libertarian nod at the party’s national convention in Las Vegas in May. Party officials said last month that they are holding out hope that Paul and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura would contend for their nomination, though Paul is now the GOP front-runner in Iowa and Ventura is vacationing at his home in Mexico, where he does not have a telephone or an Internet connection.
- Libertarian Party of the nutty
- Trump party of the 1%
- Petreus party of the Militants
I feel the same way about Florida, and I only visited.
