Hotseat: Gary Johnson
August 8, 2012 Willamette Week By Mark Zusman
Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party’s nominee for president, isn’t going to win in November. But were we to challenge him to a bike race, a 400-meter sprint or even water polo, the 59-year-old New Mexico ex-governor would skunk us. Johnson’s athletic accomplishments—he’s climbed Mount Everest and finished Ironmans—sound like the bucket list of an obsessive compulsive. But his biggest marathon might be his presidential run.

Letter to the Editor: A better choice for president
August 13, 2012 Concord Monitor By Howard Wilson
The issue difference between Mitt Romney and President Obama is minimal at best. Whether Romney initiated a health-care system in Massachusetts that Obama swiped for his health care takeover, or the two thought up what comes down to government control of medical care, independently means little. Either source is driving medical specialists and generalists to quit the medical profession.
Consider the alternative: Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party candidate for president. He has eight years of experience as governor of New Mexico, saying no to more than 750 bills. Neither Romney nor Obama can say that. Both seem to be yes-men for anything that grows government.
