Richmond Times-Dispatch:

[FONT=&quot]Gary Johnson is a former, two-term governor of New Mexico and a man who built from scratch a construction company that eventually employed more than 1,000 people before he sold it in 1999. He possesses substantial executive experience in both the private and the public sectors.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]More important, hes a man of good integrity, apparently normal ego and sound ideas. Sadly, in the 2016 presidential contest, those essential qualities make him an anomaly though they are the foundations for solid leadership and trustworthy character. (At 63, he is also the youngest candidate by more than half a decade and is polling well among truly young voters.)
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As the nominee of the Libertarian Party, Johnson is expected to be on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. He is, in every respect, a legitimate and reasonable contender for the presidency but only if the voters give him a fair hearing. And that can happen only if he is allowed to participate in the presidential debates that begin on Sept. 26 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. If the Commission on Presidential Debates wants to perform a real service to its country, it will invite Gary Johnson onto the big stage.

[FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]You can also see at the link that the last 10 endorsements before this one for President were all for the Republican nominees, from Reagan to Romney. So, this is a Republican leaning newspaper and very telling that it cannot bring itself to endorse Donald Trump.

I do also find this to be good, but limited, news for Gary Johnson. It's not very often that a 3rd party candidate gets an endorsement. Good for him.

I like Gary Johnson and will vote for him.

I don't think he will win.
