From remarks by Gary Johnson and William Weld, the Libertarian Party candidates for president and vice president, during an interview at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on July 7 with Thomas Burr, the club’s president:

Thomas Burr: So following on that, Governor, 10 percent doesn’t get you elected president. So do you worry about being perceived as a spoiler to the major party candidates such as Ross Perot in ’92 or Ralph Nader in 2000?

Gary Johnson: I will lose no sleep if that is the label given to me, and I will reiterate; this is a party that needs crashing.

William Weld: What’s to spoil?
