Greens have Jill Stein -too close to AIPAC.
Check out Gary Johnson ( libertarian). if you can get past the party label. He's an honorable man, was a good NM gov, and has worked tirelessly for NORML

WEST BOCA — – He's so conservative that he'd slash federal spending across the board, including sacred cows most Democrats and Republicans are afraid to touch. He's so liberal that he'd legalize marijuana, immediately withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan and support marriage for same-sex couples as a constitutional right.
Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president, is completely unlike what's offered up by the two major parties — and that's what appeals to his supporters.
"He's in line with where America is," said Michael Coughlin, 48, of Boca Raton. "Gary is reality."
Coughlin, a Navy retiree, was among about 30 people who gathered Thursday at a Palm Beach County branch library to meet Johnson and pepper him with questions.
They heard a candidate who believes the government has no business doing much of what it does, from snooping on citizens via the Patriot Act to stationing troops around the world.
On federal spending, Johnson said he'd balance the federal budget through across-the-board spending cuts of 43 percent, which he said would bring spending in line with tax revenue. Even after military spending cuts of that magnitude, he said defense funding would be at 2003 levels, many times higher than any another nation's.
On immigration, he favors making it as easy as possible for anyone who wants to get a work permit after passing a background check. "Don't build a fence. What an incredible waste of time and resources," he said.
