In in this interview with a surprisingly civil Sean Hannity, Johnson, who has described himself as a libertarian, performs ably on taxes, the drug war, and foreign policy issues. I worry that he too often seems unsure of himself as in his hedge about whether Ron Paul was right in his debate confrontation with Giuliani. Still, not too bad.

That's right. It is amazing that he says that nobody in the LP ever directly approached him about running. Johnson has his faults but he has a better record than Barr.

I don't know if running in the GOP is the right decision for him...He may get drowned out by the Paul supporters, not to mention the mainstream candidates. Perhaps he is hoping that Paul will endorse him.

Gary Johnson _is_ running for the GOP nomination for President in 2012.
