Seems like a lot of "conservative" voters don't like Romney because, well I'm not sure why. Anyway, they really need someone to vote for.
So they need to start looking into the Libertarian ticket, if you ask me. There is an actual legit politician at the top this year.
Gary Johnson, two-term governor of New Mexico, is the Presidential candidate. He was formerly a Republican. The VP candidate is a California judge who is an anti-drug law crusader, Jim Gray.
I, of course, would never vote for a school voucher-pushing, Medicaid-privatizing, private prison-building Libertarian. But I think it would be fair for democracy if he was on the ballot in all of the states and all of the "conservatives" knew about him, right?
