What Does Ron Paul Have Against Gary Johnson? - The Daily Beast - Ben Jacobs:
May 15, 2012 - "On a campaign conference call today, campaign spokesperson Jesse Benton said that Paul would not back Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson under any circumstances. This was the most definitive language used by Benton on a call laced with caveats. Benton said that Paul was 'not likely' to endorse Romney and was 'extremely unlikely' to back any third party candidate. But, when it came to Gary Johnson, the answer was a quick and simple no.
"Johnson may be the most ideologically similar candidate to Paul but there are major differences between the former New Mexico governor and the longtime Texas congressman. Johnson is far more rooted in modern libertarianism than Paul, who is many ways a candidate of what his biographer, Brian Doherty, calls the “Old Right.” While Johnson is pro gay marriage and pro-drug reform, Paul is still wedded to bugaboos about gold money and combines his laissez-faire economic approach with a streak of social conservatism."
