The upcoming presidential election of 2016 will be unlike any in living memory.
Should the Libertarian & Green candidates be allowed to participate in the Presidential debates? But there is a silver lining to this dark cloud. They maintain the law unfairly disadvantaged third parties going forward, along with other claims. I'm finding it hard to understand why any reasonable person or organization - including the organizers of the presidential debates - wouldn't want Johnson to be part of them.
Libertarians believe that everyone should be free to do whatever he or she wishes, so long as he or she does not interfere with his or her neighbor's right to do the same.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. "Fiscally conservative, socially accepting, tolerant, accommodating [is] something that Republicans have lost". What about young people who won't be going to Dartmouth, where yearly costs are estimated at $50,000, and might prefer a non-libertarian approach to higher education?
Although most of Colorado's Democratic delegates preferred Sanders, a Vermont U.S. senator who ran to Clinton's left, Clinton is the party's nominee, and Palacio believes most Sanders supporters will vote for her.
Last week, Mr. Husted's office finally confirmed: With 7,619 valid signatures, Mr. Earl and Mr. Moellman qualified for the ballot; the switch will be made; and Mr. Johnson and Mr. Weld will be on all OH ballots.
"Clearly we've got a two-party system", state Democratic Party Chair Rick Palacio said, when asked why anti-Trump Republicans would vote for Clinton rather than Gary Johnson. Arguably, they are doing better than any challenger ticket since 1992. In the polls where he was listed in the first or only horse-race question, Johnson did slightly worse on average. Both expressed hesitation over Johnson's support for legalizing recreational marijuana (a position Weld also holds).

Under a carbon-tax scheme, businesses, power plants and/or individuals are taxed based on the amount of carbon-dioxide-emitting energy they consume.
But in the latest ad from his campaign, Johnson and his running mate Bill Weld insist that with enough grassroots support, they can win.
But those who support these third party candidates don't see it as a wasted vote.
Johnson and Stein are both polling well below Perot's 1992 performance, which ended in with him taking nearly 18.9% of the national vote. "We're at 10% flat on those five polls".
The key will be getting into the televised debates this fall.
The Libertarian Party expects to be on the ballot in all 50 states, and Johnson along with Weld, need 15 percent in order to get into the presidential debates, which is nearly necessary to win an election. But as it stands, they won't and therefore Stein and Johnson's poll numbers will stay low or dissipate.
"Would you agree that if you don't get into the debates it's game over?" Essays rebutting today's topics are also welcome.
