Gary Johnson 2012

"Tell CNN" +

Text: Tell CNN to let Gary Johnson debate on June 13th  Give liberty a voice.

[Music] Female News (or News Type) Announcer: There's a new entry in the 2012 presidential race: Governor Gary Johnson served two terms as New Mexico's governor and left office with a billion dollar surplus.  As governor he vetoed a record 750 spending bills and earned the nickname "Governor Veto."  So with this ongoing debate about spending, why is it that you've probably never heard of him?

Fox Announcer: ...the debate.  They're also including people that said they're not going to run.  They sent invitations to bigger names to go like Huckabee and Giuliani; they're still up in the air.  You've declared.  It just seems unfair.

Johnson (voiceover): I was told that I would never win running for governor of New Mexico.  When they did a poll four months before the primary I was at two-percent of the Republican vote.  I went on to win the Republican primary; I went on to win the general election by ten percentage points in a state that was two-to-one Democrat.
