Good, Ron Paul consciously doesn't want to become the Ross Perot of 2008 and help elect another Clinton.

The thought does not cross my mind about a third party

That’s not a “I will not run on a third party ticket” declarative statement. That’s a "I haven’t thought about it just yet" statement.

I don’t think he will, I’m just pointing out that he left himself a bit of semantic wiggle room there.

They always do.

Ron Paul would draw the truther vote away from Hillary.

He would have hurt the Dems more with a third party run in my opinion. His views are more in line with the leftwing than the rightwing.

Unfortunately this country does not offer democratic opportunities.

Typical Ron Paul quote... sounds like Algore, if he doesn't win, he blames the system, never thinking to look in a mirror.

I did it and I know what the problems are. Unfortunately this country does not offer democratic opportunities.

Because we're a republic, not a democracy.

You can’t get on debates,

Sure you can. If you're relevant. Do they expect the Republican and Democrat candidates to sit there while waiting for the candidates for the Libertarian, Constitution, Green, Socialist, Communist, Worker's World, Reform, etc parties vie for the other 4-5% of the vote?

Sure it does Ron, you could have ran in the Democratic primaries as easily as the Republican.

Unfortunately this country does not offer democratic opportunities. There’s too many rules and laws and bias against an alternative party whether you’re left or right or wherever you’re coming from. You can’t get on debates, you can’t get on ballots

You can’t get on debates

You can’t get on ballots

If Paul holds to this statement (and I think he will) the end is near for him, though he will stay in to push his points. Paul polls at 5% here on FR, which tells you all you need to know about his chances. If he can’t beat Giuliani and Romney here, he’s toast.

The first level headed thing Ru Paul has said.

Ron Paul will win the Republican nomination and then the general election - in a landslide!

That’s almost too bad. I think Ru Paul would draw more from the kook base of the Democratics. He sounds like like a Kos Kid or a DUmmie a lot of times.

Actually; Paul had told his wife a while back that he wouldn’t seek a ‘third party’ nomination...this is old news.
