Reagan biographer suggests conservatives consider Gary Johnson

Ronald Reagan biographer Craig Shirley, author of Rendezvous With Destiny and Reagan’s Revolution, is not very fond of the Republican establishment. Nor is he particularly pleased with Mitt Romney’s treatment of The Gipper:
Romneyism—like Bushism and McCainism—is about wiping Reaganism away from the Republican Party.
Romney has made it clear in the past his abhorrence of Ronald Reagan. Romney is about personal power, plain and simple.
Shirley thinks Republicans may have hit a new all-time low, stating that Romney “could be the most despised choice since Richard Nixon.” He does have an alternative though, suggesting that “conservatives will seriously consider walking away and looking at the candidacy of Gary Johnson.”
With the Republican primary effectively over and Mitt Romney the presumptive nominee, it will be interesting to see if any prominent conservatives buck the GOP and endorse the Libertarian candidate, or if they all collectively hold their nose and support Mitt Romney. There is another option, of course, and that is to refrain from endorsing anyone. This was the option taken by Gary Johnson himself when he became the only sitting Republican governor not to endorse George Bush in 2000.
Gary Johnson is awesome. There’s gotta be a way to get him more press. Obama and Romney are the same person IMO..
BTW I’m a liberal

If he can poll at 15% he will be in the debates against Obama and Mitt. Even if you dont want to support Gary Johnson, he should at least have his voice heard. He has a very good voice that will resonate with the people if he is given the opportunity.
This blog is really great. The information here will surely be of some help to me. Thanks!.

If Gary Johnson can poll 15% or higher and get on the debate stage it will make for a very interesting election. I think he will steal votes from both democrats and republicans, with his fiscal conservative ideas along with his social tollereance that will appeal to liberals (leagalizing pot, gay marriage ext) From a stricly fiscal conservative standpoint he is the closest thing to Reagan we have ever had out of ANY presidential candidate. Maybe even better? Hope he appears on the debate stage in the general! Should make things interesting.
I am definitely enjoying your website. You definitely have some great insight and great stories.
