As I blogged yesterday, Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson is achieving 5-6% support in Wisconsin polls.
This has importance beyond getting a Libertarian message out, or electing the former two-term New Mexico Governor President.
That 6% could be the critical difference between passage and failure of the medical marijuana ballot initiative, which both current Governor Scott Walker (fighting off a recall in the same election) and Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch (herself, ironically, a cancer survivor) adamantly oppose.
Activists for marijuana legalization or marriage equality across the country, think about what having a presidential candidate openly supporting you could mean!

I was trying to make the point that the campaign should back both kinds of initiatives around the country.
