3rd Party Candidates

Who are the minor candidates in the race this year?

The only ones who might feasibly make a difference are Gary Johnson and Virgil Goode, by siphoning some votes from Romney.

Otherwise there are probably dozens if not over a hundred across the 50 states.

Gary Johnson could actually play an important role in the Presidential election. Colorado is a key swing state and Johnson is well known here due to being a governor of a neighboring state, Coloradoans have a Libertarian bent on both the left and the right, and his support for legalization of marijuana keeps his profile high (heh) with a statewide ballot initiative on the subject polling well. I know a lot of liberals who support the initiative who are very sympathetic to Johnson. Still, he will probably draw more R’s than D’s. I’ve seen polls that show him with 5% support.
