Libertarians Choose a Candidate
The Libertarian Party picked its presidential ticket on Sunday: former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson and his running mate, former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld.
Libertarians called in to talk about the party's picks and what "Libertarian" means to them. Keep the conversation going anytime on Twitter @BrianLehrer.
@BrianLehrer barring a Republican leaning independent run (@MittRomney *cough cough*), I plan to vote Libertarian b/c Johnson is sane.
