Ok, what do we know about this guy?
He's ok with gays. He is against the war. He is for pot legalization. "Too big to fail" not good.

4. They may not be socially conservative, but they are economically conservative, |
|
and the fact that Johnson rightfully blames the Republicans for running up the deficit and outrageous spending is a break for the mainstream Republican meme. Won't he find a tough audience amongst those Republicans who want to blame all the economic woes on Obama?
