From The Holler

While this is true, I'd argue it has argue that it (probably) isn't the same affect with Presidents.

It's also crazy to see that when Gary Johnson was Governor, Job Growth was 11.6 percent in New Mexico. WOW!

That's good, Boney, and though I don't know much about Johnson, I'm sure he'd make a much better President than Obama.

But you have to admit that voting for him is essentially a protest vote that will only serve to help Obama.

I think a consensus has been reached by the majority of Conservatives and Tea Party to work within the infrastructure of the Republican Party to bring about change quickly in a situation that needs remediation NOW, not years down the road, but NOW.

And we simply cannot afford to risk anymore Supreme Court appointments like Sotomayor and Kagan. One more appointment like those and the country and freedom are screwed for decades.

It, at least in my case, wouldn't help Obama, since Romney had almost 0 chance of getting my vote, and the Libertarian candidate or Constitution candidate was far more likely to.

Another Republican may have had a better chance of getting my vote, but I have little blind loyalty to a party, just to my principles. I'll admit Johnson doesn't share all of those principles, but he's been effective and I'd rather spread the ideals and Libertarian Party than vote for someone who I don't want elected.... (And I really think that Romney would be bad for the Party, because he'd be another "Bush" pushing younger people away from the party)

Not to mention that in NJ, people absolutely hate Romney (not everyone, but it's heavily leaning towards Obama, just like it always is towards the Democrats in the Presidential Elections.) So it's worth it for me to vote for Johnson as a protest, as Romney has little chance of getting our Electoral Votes.

I also think that dispite his out of touch style of speaking, he has a heavy advantage over the President, even with Johnson in the race, and even if they let him in the debates. There are lots of reasons for me to believe this, but I won't bother to list them all.

WTG Republicans.

RI is a Dem state... still a Dem state... and jobs? we dont need no stinkin' jobs. (just ask 'em) **insert heavy dramatic sigh here**
