No question he’ll run independent. He’s already bashing the 2-party system. And if he does bolt, we won’t beat Obama. The libertarians in the GOP will bolt with him. They won’t support Romney. No way.

And he’s laying a foundation to eventually try and steal the youth from both parties. He knows full well most of his base are voters under age 40 who are angry.

You can blame the GOP establishment who has been playing a VERY dangerous game in order to force a Romney nomination on a party that doesnt want him.

I disagree. This scenario played out once before with the same hand wringing and doom and gloom. It failed to split the GOP.

Paul will siphon off leftist who are tired of Obummer. I have seen no genuine GOP base support for this Anarchist Libertarian to date. Just Occupy type dopey college kids.

And Crazy Paul knows it. Axelrod and Obama are planning on it, too.

Cut and Run going third party will hurt Obama more than whoever the Republican is. None of his supporters (the OWS gang) will ever support someone who wants to keep America safe or does not want to legalize illegal drugs.
He will also take the far left vote that thinks Obama is too conservative. The surrender running third party will guarantee a Republican win.
