ML from B2 - I don't really consider 3% for Gary Johnson anything groundbreaking. Especially since Perot crushed that number both times he ran.

IMO, people were desperate for a legitimate third party candidate, and that's why Gary Johnson and Jill Stein were polling at a combined 12 to 14% for a brief moment early. Once both candidates were shown to be one-trick ponies or woefully unprepared for the various issues a President should know about, their support evaporated - despite the great desire for someone new.
3% doesn't even get them the 5% federal funding next election. By percentage it's way higher than 2012, but 3 times nothing is still basically nothing. I think it was a missed opportunity.
