Ex-Gov. Johnson may run as Libertarian - UPI.com:

"'I feel abandoned by the Republican Party,' Johnson told The New Mexican of Santa Fe in a phone interview. 'The Republican Party has left me by the wayside. If I'd  have been included in 16 of the last debates we wouldn't even be having this conversation.'...

"While Johnson did better than former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov.

He blames the national news media for deciding who the candidates are and the Republican National Committee for giving the press that power."
