The chairman of the group inviting former NM Gov. Gary Johnson to speak at an "educational forum" in the Granite State knows exactly why the bunny quotes are necessary.
The New Hampshire Union-Leader:
[Jim] Forsythe, who has chaired RLCNH [Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire] since the late summer, said his group has a 600-person email list and an associated political action committee.
Forsythe said the speculation surrounding a Johnson run for President “is one of the reasons we invited him. We thought he might be interested in New Hampshire and the fact that he’s coming might be a good sign” about his future plans.
Forsythe, asked what impresses him most about Johnson, said that when Johnson was governor, “he was not bashful about picking up the veto pen and vetoing bad legislation.”
He reportedly vetoed 750 pieces of legislation.
“We’re very excited about him coming,” said Forsythe, “especially if this turns into something big.”
If Johnson does end up running for President, Forsythe said, “I’d love for us to be able to say that this is where it started.”
