Captain America for President? Iowa Caucuses 2012

Gary Johnson has made it official. He'll spend a little less time bicycling and ciimbing Mt. Everest and a little more running for president. He's hobnobbed among us rustics and promises to return.

Johnson is a contractor turned New Mexico governor where he performed some libertarian acts, notably wearing out a few pens vetoing  spending bills.  He thinks the war on drugs is a crazy spoof of logic, that the reach of the tax man is too broad and too deep, and that a nation can get in trouble tailoring its laws to the demands of the teevee preachers.

He's treading Ron Paul turf, though Paul is hugging our evangelical right on the abortion issue this time around.

Johnson's entry brings number of aspirants  to at least 18  20, and your handy list of caucus candidates has been updated.

What, besides Michelle, makes the caucuses of much interest up there?
