Gary Johnson gets second chance at Fox News GOP debate

View Photo Gallery —  As the primary season kicks into gear, Republican presidential hopefuls are hitting the road and meeting voters in Iowa , New Hampshire and other early primary states.

After being excluded from every GOP presidential debate since May, the former New Mexico governor has gotten into tonight’s Fox News confab in Orlando over the objections of the Florida GOP. Now he has to do something with his big chance.

In the May debate, Johnson looked uncomfortable throughout, complaining about not getting enough questions and then giving weak, forgettable responses when he did. For fans, the performance was a disappointment. For those who had never heard of Johnson, it was not an incentive to learn more. Since then, the candidate has all but disappeared, popping up only to complain about being excluded and to announce his latest bike race.

Tonight’s debate gives Johnson a chance to start over with his strongest argument — that he’s a Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) with results.
