We have our doctrinal differences within the conservative movement; but I don’t really want to discuss those here. My fear is that columns such as this one might take a single-digit candidate, one with an ego at that, and make him think: “Hmmmm; 3rd Party Run?”. After all, he is from the same state as the last guy who did, and has the same initials. That’s scary because the last guy who did gave us 8 years of BJ and HRC. My nightmare is that HRC might offer this RP a lot of money to go 3rd party and he might just do it, especially with a little encouragement from the likes of Natl Review.
Paul has promised his wife not to run 3rd party. He has pledged to stay within the GOP.

Seems to me that it is more true to say that the guy who gave us BJ was actually named “George Bush.” Seems like the guy who might well give us Hillary is also, coincidentally, named “George Bush.”
The point being: don’t blame the third party candidates. Blame the failure on the part of leaders who necessitate third party candidacies.
Now, all that said, Paul won’t run as a third party.
