Third Party Watch reports that the Libertarian Party National Committee just unanimously passed a resolution, which reads, in part, "In the event that Republican primary voters select a candidate other than Congressman Paul in February of 2008, the Libertarian National Committee invites Congressman Paul to seek the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party, to be decided in Denver, Colorado, during the Memorial Day weekend of 2008."
Third Party Watch has an eyewitness reporter at this meeting, which has been going on this weekend in Charleston, South Carolina. The Paul resolution was authored by former Congressman Bob Barr.
FYI
They seem to understand that he isn’t going to win the republican nomination.
if I dont have Hunter/Tancredo to vote for I’ll vote for Paul on the LP ticket.

Read the article. It says nothing about the nomination.
You’ll have to write him in, ‘cause he ain’t running on the LP ticket. He promised his wife. His word is as good as gold, so I’m told.
Correction to #6: that would be “Republican nomination.”
(And before someone asks, "If he's so popular, why does Ron Paul score so low in the polls?", the answer is obvious. The polls are conducted by 19th-century techniques (land-line telephone) and Ron Paul is most popular with 21st-century internet geeks, and others.)
“if I dont have Hunter/Tancredo to vote for I’ll vote for Paul on the LP ticket.”
You’re not going to have them. It’ll probably be Dudy, errr,Rudy or Shit, I mean, Mitt. One of the socialists will get the nomination, make no mistake about it. You see, Republicans only care about winning elections, not about advancing an agenda. So they’ll nominate the “most electable”, by their accounting anyway, and we’ll continue the slide to socialism aided in full by both the Democrat and Republican parties.
Aren’t you “conservatives” going to be ashamed of yourselves when the new president is elected and within two years of this date (12/9/07), regardless of which party wins, we have universal healthcare because A SOCIALIST IS ELECTED? A socialist congress (regardless of which party holds the majority) and a socialist White House (again, regardless of which party holds the majority) get together and give us socialized medicine. You’ll be so proud that you bashed the crap out of Ron Paul and kept a consitutionalist away from the White House to stem and beat back the tide of socialism.
Come on travis, we need to get up a group to give St. Rudy at least one meetup event ;) BTW, did you see where even Rudy said Ron Paul's supporters are everywhere? LOL
They just want all that money he’s gotten anyway. The LP never had that much money to campaign with before.
Well, the graph appears to indicate that the odds of success (success = becoming the nominee) are inversely proportional to the number of “meetups.” Too bad for Mr. Paul.
If he did accept, his “supporters” would be torn between him and Hillary/Obama ticket.
Which would be fine by me.
We'll see if it's true, as some commentators insist, that Republicans don't grow a spine until their backs are against the wall. It did happen once during the Klintoon era (with Hillary-Care), but not at all recently. It's politically incorrect, I guess, to oppose socialist programs that your own president proposes.
If you dig down into the data on the meetups website you find that a “meetup” can be as few as one (1) person. Some are large, but most are only a few people or only one person. Myself, I wonder if the whole thing isn’t “virtual”.

Perhaps you are thinking of those Republicans who currently support Gouliani?
I get notifications of Ron Paul meet ups in my town all the time. The only problem is that they aren’t happening. There are only about 150 people here and you would think one or two of us would have noticed these so called “meet ups”.
I liken it to the emails I get telling me that dozens of beautiful girls in “your town are waiting to meet you” if I sign up for this or that site. It’s all internet scam artistry.
