No doubt he has a better grasp on how to create jobs than our current POTUS. IMO, Ron Paul has the real economic mind of the 2012 candidates. Gary Johnson would no doubt make a valuable member of a Ron Paul cabinet.
Climbing Everest isn't anywhere near as tough as it used to be. In fact, a lot of serious climbers have referenced how it's become somewhat "touristy". They even had some recent commentary that *marginal* people are gumming up the summit approaches causing more serious climbers delays up in the dead zone and making it more dangerous.
Most people in decent health with some reasonable training and enough money can climb it.
Apa Sherpa has done it 19 times and a 70 year old Japanese guy has done it too.
So, no....I'd be more impressed if he had a masters in economics than climbing some stupid mountain.
Gary has Harvard Econ Prof Jeffrey Miron for economic adviser, but Gary is very frugal. Even though he is wealthy, he built his own house.

Then maybe you should start a thread about how he should be elected because of those qualities instead of that he climbed Mount Everest?
My only point is that climbing Everest counting as a plus for electibility is rather dumb.
As an aside note, Everest is easier than ever to climb and the flood of older tourists has even lead to deaths in recent years as they logjam the mountain where they are hand-held the entire way by sherpas. With enough money you can probably pay a team of sherpa to carry some 85yo up the mountain and back down.
We all know Gary Johnson climb up Mount Everest the tallest mountain in the World and he did that when he was 50 back in 2003 will it help him in the 2012 election it is pretty remarkable for anyone to do that and he inspires everyone with his fitness he has reach the summit of the world highest mountain will he get to the summit of the US Government in 2012?
I am starting to support him now in the 2012 election I think it will be cool he will be the first President of the United States of America to ever climb up Mount Everest.
No.
why? because some states do not recognize a 3rd. party, and you will waste your vote/voice.
At best Gary Johnson may decide who takes the swing states and therefore the presidential election. I would venture to say Johnson will help Romney more by more Obama voters than Romney voters deciding to vote for Johnson.
It helps him about as much as the fact that I've ridden a bicycle 100 miles in a day helps me get elected president in 2012.
The difference is that Gary Johnson is actually running for president and you are not.
If you are - then you had better do a better job of getting your name out there and telling people why they should write your name in.
