Dude, relax, we know that you don’t want him to run, especially as a third party.. you are on friendly ground here. You are a noob so you should understand, exposing and mocking the cult of Paul is somewhat of a sport here. His little cult has these delusions of grander about him being some sort of perfect Conservative the way Fred Phelp’s followers think he is some sort of perfect Christian.
Most of us have dealt with him for decades before this past election cycle and know his real game. Don’t take these articles too seriously lest you get so obsessive, you accidentally become one of his.
(Shrugs). I could be wrong, but I think it's highly unlikely that Ron Paul will mount a serious bid in 2012 at all, let alone a Third Party bid. He's simply getting too old for the office.
If he runs again, he'll almost certainly run as a Republican; but I think it's very unlikely he'll run. At this point, I prefer one of only three gubernatorial candidates endorsed by Ron Paul's PAC in 2006 as a "libertarian Republican": Governor Sarah Palin. And that's assuming that SHE runs, as even that is (at this point) by no means certain.
