I doubt even 3% of the people in Georgia even know who the hell he is. He's getting Ross Perot type support in this poll

Johnson won't top 3% in Georgia, I think. I'd say he ends up around 2.85% there and a little less nationally.

Unfortunately, in Georgia, that will likely mean more than half of the remaining "Johnson" people breaking for Trump. But nationally, and in other swing states, it will go the other way.

But I highly doubt that many people are going to turn out to actually vote for him.

Hopefully this is not fools gold. A plan to get Clinton to expend resources in locations she can't win like Texas, Arizona, Georgia and away from more important states like Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina that would block trumps path to 270.

The resources that they've put into our state is not "fools gold." I'm on the ground here in AZ and it's looking very likely that Clinton will win our state.

Win or lose it, I will be very happy if on the night of the 8th after early poll closings, they simply announce it "too close to call." IMHO that will be a sign of a very good night to come.
