Gary Johnson Gearing up for 2012?

The pro-drug legalization, pro-immigration, small government budget hawk and former governor of New Mexico looks to be preparing for a run.

Gary Johnson is preparing to launch his Our America PAC shortly, as soon as he gets all of his legal ducks in a row. He will be hitting the trail hard soon, traveling the country to speak in support of issues and candidates, re-immersing himself in the public policy debate.

This December, Governor Johnson will also be releasing a book entitled "Seven Principles Of Good Government," published by The Heartland Institute (a conservative-libertarian think tank).

It's hard to see Johnson getting the GOP nomination. But he'd certainly make the primaries interesting.

Reason interviewed Johnson in 2001.
