Mike Riggs: Gary Johnson Braves The ACLU

Mike Riggs: Gary Johnson Bets Big On New Hampshire


Can a nice guy finish first in the Live Free or Die State? Republican Gary Johnson hopes so. “I’m putting my chips on the table in New Hampshire,” the former two-term governor of New Mexico said today at a National Press Club luncheon. Despite being a no-show in Ames, Iowa, Johnson has rented an office and hired four “young ideologues” as staffers in New Hampshire. ...

Political candidates, politicians, former presidents, interest groups, and even the Global Commission on Drug Policy are all calling for drug-policy reform.
