Very interesting. I also noticed that the Johnson campaign is headquartered in Salt Lake City, despite it being a ticket of a New Mexico and Massachusetts governor. This may have been in the works for some time. If Gary Johnson can take Utah, he may be able to either win outright, or come in 2nd in a large number of western and New England states. Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Colorado and Minnesota would be my picks if I had to bet, in that order. A Romney endorsement would probably secure Utah since they think of that man as the messiah over there.
If I had to bet - or if I was just some yahoo posting online! - here are all the states where I think Gary Johnson will win:
Come on. Get real. Johnson will siphon off some votes from Republicans who aren't chugging the orange Kool-Aid. But that's it.

Yeah. Two washed-up Republicans. Whoa! What genius!

No doubt. I'm sure Trump won't carry Utah as easily as Romney carried it. But he'll carry it. Oh, he'll still get pounded into oblivion by Clinton, but Romney won it 73%-25% over Obama in 2012. There's a whole lot of votes Trump can bleed off and still carry the Jell-O state.

LOL... this is the same Romney that came grovelling to Trump for an endorsement in 2012?

Uh huh.
In 2012 the Libertarian candidate got 0.99% of the vote (that's less than 1%).
There's not a single Libertarian of the 535 members of Congress.
There's not a single Libertarian Governor.
Of the 7,383 people serving in state legislatures, 2 of them are members of the Libertarian Party.
The United States is not a libertarian country. Period. Full stop. That's why they never win anything. Ever. And the idea that suddenly people are going to start embracing the Libertarian Party is utterly delusional.
So Mitt's going to go with a falling down drunk Bill Weld.....interesting. Mitt knows him as a fellow governor from Massachusetts. Too funny.....the Mormon is all in for a drunk. Romney & Weld two lost souls.
Some "internet scholars" are saying that Trump is gonna screw himself so badly the battleground states in November will be Mississippi and Utah.
