Not so fast. The other candidates are going broke and Paul still has $8 million to play with. He is beating Giuliani and Fred Thompson in votes handily. Counting Paul out, when only a few early states with half of their delegates stripped because they jumped the gun have voted, is foolish.
If he accepts the Constitutional Party offer, he’ll be a good fit for their brand of politics.
Chances are that he won't. Right now it's all speculation, mostly driven from the GOP elites who need a scapegoat if their nominee loses in the general election.
But I doubt it’ll have much affect on Republican prospects. At the percentages he’s been running, little support has come from Republican ranks.
So why worry about it then? Here's what's so hilarious about you guys bitching about Paul. You say that only leftist kooks are supporting him - so why haven't Paul been able to win above 4th place so far? Where are all the hordes of leftists and anti-war types crossing party lines to vote for him? Now you're telling me these people are supporting Paul in the primaries but then you're going to worry about him running 3rd party when you should be embracing it? Stop with the illogical BS.
Watch your language!

What, me worry? Where in my post did I indicate I was worried about Ron Paul?

Please point out where I said (or implied) I'm concerned over a third party run.
Stop with the illogical BS.
The only one showing illogical BS is you.
Oh, and since you're here, perhaps you can answer the question I posted to CJ Wolf in post #53; since this is such a deadhorse issue, why are all you PaulBots so quick to jump on these threads and misstate our posts?
For the record, here's the post to which you replied: "I think Paul is DOA as far as the Republican nomination. If he accepts the Constitutional Party offer, he’ll be a good fit for their brand of politics. But I doubt it’ll have much affect on Republican prospects. At the percentages he’s been running, little support has come from Republican ranks." Please be kind enough to re-read it, then reply to my questions above.
