Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson wins Libertarian nomination May 6th 2012, 12:14 LAS VEGAS –  Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is campaigning to win the White House as a Libertarian after receiving scant attention in the Republican presidential race.  Johnson easily became the party's presidential nominee at the Libertarian national convention in Las Vegas on Saturday. He hopes to appeal to voters fed up with the traditional two-party system this November.  Johnson was a longshot candidate for the Republican presidential nomination when he announced in December that he would instead pursue the Libertarian ticket.  He won 74 percent of the vote on the first ballot in Las Vegas, an unusual showing of support. In 2008, Libertarian delegates needed six rounds of voting to pick a presidential nominee.  Johnson supports legalized marijuana, low taxes and immigration reform.  He was elected New Mexico's governor in 1994.
