Live From New Mexico, It's Gary Johnson's Election Night Party!


Welcome to my live blog of Gary Johnson's 2012 Election Night party. Johnson, the likely third place finisher, is aiming to obtain 5% of the vote but after talking to some of his staffers earlier today it appears they are now aiming for just above the Libertarian high-water mark of 1.06% of the vote, set by Ed Clark in 1980.

5:58pm : The hall where Johnson and supporters will gather at the Hotel Albuquerque is sparely filled as festivities here do not commence for another hour.

6:00pm: Johnson has arrived in the hall and is preparing for several media interviews before throughout the night. Johnson has shed his typical peace sign t-shirt and blazer for a suit and tie.

6:14pm - As results have trickled in Johnson was as high as .6% but is now at .4% of the popular vote.

6:40pm - Johnson is gathering with the Libertarians for a dinner before polls close here.

7:01pm - Johnson just topped .7% of the popular vote.
