    DeMint has always stated he doesn't want the Presidency. I believe him. If Romney wins, Rand might have to wait until 2020 and his chances would be diminished because Romney will have destroyed the Republican brand, and America might be too far off to save by then.

    FYI, Governor Gary Johnson has said he's running again in 2016.

    Really? Wouldn't he be catching some serious flak if he attempts to run as in the GOP? Don't get me wrong, i really like Gary, and will probably end up supporting him if he wins the LP nod but i dont see the rationale behind him running again in the GOP.

    The title was Rand is running for President... I didn't realize it was a requirement to run in the GOP to run for President.

    Governor Johnson will be running as a Libertarian again in 2016.

    PS: He'll be on Colbert Report on Monday night.

    A quick google search did not confirm this.

    Nothing at all wrong with that. Nikki Haley's name was also mentioned in this thread. So if we have Rand, DeMint and Haley all in the race there are 3 people representing various strains of libertarian-conservatism, all of them prominent names. Heck, throw a few more in there like Judge Nap, Paul LePage, etc and we could conceivably be looking at having the majority voice in the early stages of the race leading up to Iowa.

    Agreed. I think he burned his bridges by jumping to the LP. It will be very hard for Johnson to get some GOP grassroots support given that he could jump ship at any time.
