LFS, I have looked at Gary Johnson's record as governor, and I don't like his tax policy, which cuts both taxes and benefits, including education.  Jill Stein has her appeal, but she has not stood up to support the important issue of childhood vaccination, which is puzzling considering she is a physician who certainly understands that vaccination is necessary to combat epidemic diseases and that vaccination is safe.  I think at this point, that the Republican Party will split, with the South pursuing its traditional goals of keeping the poor of all colors down, and Northern Republicans pursuing fiscal responsibility and social conservatism.  At least, that's my hope.  Without progress in voting rights in the Old South, that part of the nation is doomed to class warfare and social mediocrity.
