Gary Johnson Crowd Surfs at Utah Town Hall

While Obama and Romney are preparing for a debate in which they won’t let the former New Mexico Governor participate, the Libertarian Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson was holding an “online town hall” in Utah for anyone who wanted to participate; literally everyone in the world.
And while Johnson has taken his candidacy seriously by filing both a novel anti-trust lawsuit against the Commission on Presidential Debates and for an injunction against the FEC, it was all fun and games when Gary Johnson went crowd surfing with hundreds of supporters.
Watch Gary Johnson Crowd Surfing:
Some on-the-ground reporting from the DailyPaul:
The last question at his town hall was “if we promise not to drop you will you crowd surf”. When the question was asked I thought it was ludicrous. But GJ went ahead and did it. After thinking about it for a second, I saw the brilliance in it. Maybe it will go viral and get him some more name recognition. I’m sure someone will come up w/ a clever nickname and, again, hopefully he’ll get a lot more recognition as a result.

I was watching online and chatting with everyone. Loved his speech and the answers he gave to questions. At the very end of it…. Wow! He is crowd surfing. I have never felt so good about my vote as I do now. I remember thinking years ago, wouldn’t be nice if a real person ran for President? Not some suite with a line of crap he thinks you want to hear. You know, someone I could connect with, someone more like me, more like us! I think it has finally happened. I can’t wait to vote this year. :) Gary Johnson has my respect, and my vote!

A down to earth guy for sure. It’s coming… Politics always lags behind the people … and resists change. It will happen.

This is pretty cool! For some reason, I just can’t imagine Mitt Romney crowd surfing …

He could crowd-surf while listening to “who let the dogs out”

primus inter pares – I think that’s what politics should be in general… However, I fail to see either Obama or Romney crowd surfing….

This is so cute! \(^o^)/
Gary Johnson seems really down to earth, which I think is one advantage he has over Ron Paul. Not to say RP isn’t a sincere or likeable guy, GJ has a more level-headed tone.

the excitement in the video alone gives me the feeling that people will start abandoning the bipartisan system sooner than expected
