Before the 2012 Republican primary , Barron helped organize the " Draft Cheney 2012 " movement , which was to convince the former vice president Cheney to seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 . Early in the 2012 Republican primary process , Barron endorsed Herman Cain for the 2012 U.S. presidential election . After Cain dropped out , Barron endorsed Republican and later Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson for the 2012 U.S. presidential election , saying he was " refusing to settle " . He was a delegate to the 2012 Libertarian National Convention . In the 2012 Republican primary in the District of Columbia , Barron voted for Ron Paul . In October 2012 , however , he announced he had decided to support and vote for Mitt Romney for President , even while continuing to serve as a D.C. elector for Johnson
