Romney is losing Florida by 37,687 votes right now.
Gary Johnson has 39,494 votes so far.
Looks like Gary Johnson will cost MItt Romney the Presidency if this trend continues.

That would be ideal. Especially for me because I am one of those Florida Gary Johnson votes. :p

Romney must win Florida. A loss in Florida at this point is a total loss for the white house. "Gary Johnson causes Romney Loss by Ron Paul supporters."

"Gary Johnson causes Romney Loss by Ron Paul supporters."

I dont know, there are many other factors to consider. You can't automatically assume every GJ vote would have been for Romney had GJ not ran. Also, how about all those who liked Ron Paul, or any other GOP candidate, and was so disappointed by a primary loss, that they simply had no motivation to even show up?

I think Romney (GOP) forced the loss on himself. Its a combination of too many factors to even bother with listing, but you really think people who don't like Obama(care) will vote for the guy who wrote Obamacare?

I want them to blame us, it gives us more power

True

Maybe, how did that work out for Nader?

[brushfire]

LOL! Go GJ!

Besides, why would anyone want a white obama when they can have the 1/2 black one?

I say fk romney, and the a$$whore establishment that put him on the ticket.

Maybe one day people will wake up and figure out why every election is so close. Because there's little difference between the 2 parties...
In this case, its down to color choice.

it is true, most of the johnson voters wouldn't vote for mitt anyway, but that is not the way the GOP drones will see it.
there is a roman maxim that states, "if a person wants to be decieved, let them be decieved."

Ralph is a great man. It's no surprise he pissed off a few party hacks who continue to try to "scold" current voters into "towing the party line."

[kahless]

Not a fan of Obama but if Romney is going to lose and it is because of Gary Johnson or Ron Paul write-in's well...

How did it work for radical environmentalism? Well Al Gore, the guy that lost because of Nader, became a cheerleader for global warming. And Obama has been a radical leftist. So it seems to have worked out pretty good. No matter what happens, Gary Johnson won't get much out of it. That doesn't mean the movement won't.

Astute observations. In hindsight, I find it interesting that the Democrats didn't react faster by 2004, when all they could muster was the lackluster, globalist, business-as-usual, establishment candidate John Kerry.
