Gary Johnson for President? What?

I think Springboard America knows something I don't. Why? Well, I took a survey with them and came across a rather strange selection for a question. (Text below image)

If you can't read it it says:

Q: Several politicians have been mentioned as possible presidential candidates for the Republican Party in 2012. For each of these politicians, please say whether you think they would make a good president or bad president:

Michael Steele
Mike Huckabee
Newt Gingrich
Sarah Palin
Gary Johnson
Mitt Romney
Ron Paul
Condoleeza Rice

Obviously, Steele and Rice could be expected to be included on the suspected list of Huckabee, Gingrich, Palin, Romney and Paul. I'm guessing the surveyors will use Steele and Rice in some form of division into classification - people should indicate some knowledge of the positions of those two. But Gary Johnson, former Governor of New Mexico? What? That's a plant and makes me wonder who paid for this survey.

The entire basis for Johnson's consideration of a bid for Presidency is this blog post, as far as I can tell. Oh and there is a Facebook Group to recruit him. Then again, there is a Facebook Group for everything (literally).

As a side note, you'll notice that I didn't say they'd all be "bad presidents," though I'd have a hard time saying that I'd agree with what they said I'm not sure they'd be "bad presidents." (Plus, I wanted to help encourage Palin not to run).
