Today's news, from the Lib convention:
Libertarian nominee is Gary Johnson
Gary Johnson beats John McAfee (placed third) and Austin Petersen (second) in two ballots to win the nomination, falling only just short on the first ballot and getting 55% of delegates on the second. He also won three of the party's four primaries (with the exception of Missouri, where he wasn't on the ballot and which is Petersen's home state). His running mate will be another old blue-state Republican, former Massachussetts governor William Weld, a new Libertarian member who struggled through to gain the VP spot (elected separately) on Johnson's recommendation.
