Gary Johnson, a nonentity in the presidential campaign up to this point, is finally getting some love on the Internet after his debate performance last night. And he has no illusions as to the reason why.

“As of last night I’m the most Googled name on the planet,” he said at CPAC in Florida on Friday, “because I came up with a witty statement about dog poop.”

And he’s not just talking out of his you-know-what. As of 2 PM Friday, Gary Johnson is number one on Google’s list of “hot searches”old line in Tea Party circles, but hey, he’ll take what he can get. Could the pro-drugs, fiscally ultraconservative libertarian finally be catching on?
