Jill Stein has secured the Green Party's nomination and is now looking into potential running mates. The presumed candidates for the 2012 General Election appear to be as thus.
Barack Obama (D)
Mitt Romney (R)
Rocky Anderson (J)
Gary Johnson (L)
Virgil Goode (C)
Jill Stein (G)
These will likely be the only candidates with enough ballot access to theoretically win. Many other candidates are also running. Out of these candidates, both Rocky Anderson and Jill Stein are decent on foreign policy, but neither are perfect. Gary Johnson started out good but has now displayed some desire for neoconservative policies. Virgil Goode has a history of xenophobic statements and voted for both the Iraq War and the Patriot Act while in congress. Both Obama and Romney are status quo pro-war candidates. I recommend voting for Socialist Party USA candidate Stewart Alexander where available for those on the left, and for independent candidate Tiffany Briscoe where available for those on the right.
