Working Sharia fear from the opposite side

Juana Summers sends over this dispatch on Gary Johnson, who is barely noticeable in polls but has become something of a one-man Greek chorus of the 2012 field:

Herman Cain’s reluctance to appoint Muslims to positions of power and concerns about Sharia law in the U.S. is ridiculous said, Gary Johnson, who’s also not impressed with the Atlanta businessman’s grasp of foreign policy.



"I don't see it happening. I've never seen or smelled a whiff of it. It's a non-existent issue as far as I'm concerned,” Johnson told Mother Jones. “And when Herman Cain answers the first question at the South Carolina debate about what he would do in Iraq and Afghanistan by saying he would consult with his advisers, gosh."

Advertisement Johnson has only single-digit support in early polls, while Cain has performed somewhat well, despite never holding office or running outside of Georgia.
