I hope Johnson/Weld get to 15% so they can be in the debates. I was very interested in what they had to say in the CNN Libertarian Town Hall.

It would be great if Johnson and Weld were libertarians, but they are liberal Democrats, just as their main competition is. Peterson would have attracted more support among conservative Republicans.

As long as the LP keeps nominating liberals to run for president, its appeal will be limited to the drug legalization zealots. Libertarians would find plenty of common ground with true conservatives if they focused on economic liberty and private property rights. The field is already too crowded with liberal nutcases.
