Gary Johnson Announces Candidacy for President in New Hampshire

No exploratory committees, no online videos, no gimmicks. Gary Johnson announced his candidacy for president just moments ago in front of the State House in Concord, New Hampshire. Staff live tweeting the event posted the following statement just after 9:00 AM:

Along with the new campaign comes a new website: www.garyjohnson2012.com

  5. It is certainly better than some out there. Newt Gingrich's exploratory committee website is a single page and pretty tough to find!
