Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico and current leading Libertarian candidate for president, is set to name Bill Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts, as his running mate today.

James Antle summed up whether or not Weld is a libertarian best, in a 2005 profile at the American Spectator. Antle wrote, “Does the strange combination of thorough economic conservatism and social liberalism make Weld a libertarian?
