1. Kansas City News thinks trying to campaign as a third-party candidate is always a doomed strategy in a "two-party system," but at least--like jason330lbs--they are talking about it.
2. On the other hand, the Examiner lays out exactly how Gary Johnson will transition from the campaign's first phase (getting ballot access) into its "debate phase" for achieving 15% in the polls. It is as close to an official campaign statement of strategy you are likely to see.
3. But none of that matters if polling agencies simply keep refusing to include his name.
