Giant moan of despair for two reasons. 1. Gary Johnson could have been one of the GOP's brightest stars in 2016 or 2020 or 2024. 2. Johnson would have made a great candidate for the Senate seat from New Mexico.
It bothers me less that Johnson has made a bad career move than that he will not be running for and serving in the Senate. As mentioned elsewhere on this site, the GOP has an outside chance capturing a super majority in 2012. If you gave me the choice between the White House and a Senate super majority I would take the latter. It could have happened. It could have happened.
Gary Johnson would have fit in well with the Class of 2010. The GOP ranks would have swelled but more importantly, the Tea Party Caucus would have gained steam. This guy would give Harry Reid nightmares.
Gary. Gary. Gary. Who the hell is advising you?
