Viable? No there's not.
Viable, in this context, implies there's a reasonable chance of succeeding. Gary Johnson is not a viable candidate. In fact, it's a 100 percent certainty that he will lose. There's a 100 percent certainty that he will not win a single state, not even his home state of New Mexico. It's a 100 percent certainty that he will not receive a single electoral vote.
Viable? I don't think so.
There IS a 100 percent certainty, however, that a vote for Gary Johnson will help Barack Obama get reelected.
I love sticking to one's principle, something I try to do in all my arguments. But mixed with healthy dose of reality is the only way to ultimately advance such underlying principle - AND fend off an opposing principle from being advanced further.
..... AND fend off an opposing principle from being advanced further.

Not only do libertarian-thinking people want to maintain a good offense, but if we don't even field a defensive team, we're doomed. And this is the time to put our best defensive team on the field.
Otherwise, cutting off one's nose to spite one's face comes to mind.
It's time to play defense, boxy, even if for just the one second it will take to cast a vote for the ONLY viable candidate against Barack Hussein Obama, and that's Mitt Romney. ONE SECOND, that's all. And then put your offense back on the field!
