I don’t think that Gary Johnson is the favorite among the cannabis legalization crowd.

That being said, he will need to be given a voice at the GOP convention to assure that he does not slit the throats of the GOP by declaring an Independent run. Maybe the Libertarians will need their own convention to decide between Gary Johnson and the good Dr.

He is drawing so strongly among the young voter base that helped put Obama in the White House that he could carve out a coalition that runs ahead of both Obama and say, Romney. He would certainly draw from the libertarian and small government Republicans and Obama will lose a good amount of disaffected independents, blue collar democrats and the elderly that will need to somewhere.
