Stunner - Gary Johnson At 10.6 % In Gravis Marketing Ohio Poll

You read that right, Gary Johnson is at 10.6% in the latest Gravis Marketing/Capitol Correspondent Ohio Poll. Among likely Ohio voters he is up over 6% from the last Gravis poll just 2 weeks ago.

This is stunning news since the conventional wisdom is that 3rd party candidates start to sink in the polls as the election draws closer.

Q If the Presidential election were held today and the candidates were Democrat Barack Obama, Republican Mitt Romney and Libertarian Gary Johnson, whom? would you vote?

Obama...........44.5%
Romney..........37.8%
Johnson..........10.6%
Other/Unsure....7.1%

Certainly, this poll is going to cause some sleepless nights for the Romney campaign, that's for sure. Not only is Governor Johnson over 10% in a key swing state but his inclusion in the poll dropped the former Massachusetts Governor from a deficit of less than 1%, in a head-to-head matchup against the President, to a nearly 7% gap.

The American people are starting to wake up, especially the fiscally conservative, pro-liberty Republicans. They are realizing that Milquetoast Mitt isn't much different on most policy than Obama and they see Gary Johnson as a legitimate third option.

So kudos to you Gary Johnson; your message is getting out and the people are hearing it loud and clear.

Gravis Marketing/Capitol Correspondent Poll - Gary Johnson At 4.5% In Ohio

4.5% in an important swing state for Gary Johnson, not bad.

What these polls are all telling us is that even with the mediot blackout the former New Mexico Governor is going to have an impact on the 2012 race for the White House.

Is it any wonder that Mittens and the GOP had thoughts to keep him off the ballot in the Buckeye State?

Milquetoast Mitt needs every vote that he can muster in what should have been a can't-lose race for the GOP, but "Obama-lite" Romney is just another in the line of wet shit sandwiches from the Republican elite.

UPDATE Challenge Withdrawn 9/1 Who's Afraid Of Gary Johnson? Mittens And The GOP Part V (Ohio)

EDITOR'S NOTE - Good news from Ohio

Protesters Kelly Mills and Cynthia Rees have withdrawn their their challenge so Gary Johnson will remain on the ballot in Ohio.

One down, five more to win but one has to wonder how many more "serial challenges" the GOP will launch

This is getting old.

With challenges to Gary Johnson's ballot status already under way in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Oklahoma, a new challenge has been filed in Ohio.

Just like in Oklahoma where the state kept the decision secret to remove Johnson from the ballot for 12 days, the Ohio challenge was filed on August 24th but the campaign was not notified until late on August 31st, the day before the long weekend, of the September 4th hearing.

These political shenanigans by the GOP are intended to suppress opposition to their milquetoast nominee Mitt "Obama-Lite" Romney by getting Governor Johnson removed from the ballot in key states where Mittens needs every vote he can muster or to bankrupt his campaign so they do not have the funds to competitively campaign.

Unlike the GOP, neither Gary Johnson nor the Libertarian Party have millions of dollars or armies of lawyers to waste on these challenges. The Johnson campaign has even issued a statement calling out the GOP for their "serial challenges" and vows to fight every one until the end.

This of course is all a steaming pile of crap as the GOP is trying to manipulate the electoral process because they know that their candidate is a loser in the vein of John McCain and Bob Dole.

Here's what you can do to help.
