The 2012 presidential candidate excluded from CNN’s upcoming debate is making his appeal to YouTubers. In a campaign video released late yesterday, Gary Johnson makes the case for being included in the June 13th debate.

Apart from the Fox news clips describing the former New Mexico governor’s fiscal accomplishments, the video also offers a quick history lesson. The Johnson team notes that past candidates with similarly low polls — Michael Dukakis, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton — have eventually done fairly well.
