Ron Paul: Gary Johnson 'wonderful'

Ron Paul hasn't issued a general election endorsement and doesn't seem likely to, but he at least had some warm words for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

In a Fox interview — cut into this longer Johnson campaign video — Paul said this of the former New Mexico governor: “I think he’s wonderful and I think he’s doing a good job and people should look at him and every individual should make up their own mind.”

Johnson has tried strenuously to court Paul supporters for his own cause. There hasn't been a direct migration of support from one libertarian to another, but it's probably the best shot Johnson has of gaining modest traction in the general election.
