Gary Johnson May Run for President

Second only to Ron Paul, former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson is the most pro-liberty politician of any prominence. It looks like he might be considering a presidential run. Johnson seems like a dream come true (at least for a politician). For example, he supports the second amendment, marijuana legalization, and fought tax increases while governor. He also supported Ron Paul for president in the primaries. Sounds too good to be true? Perhaps. The big question is where he stands on foreign policy though the support for Paul is a good sign.
