I highly doubt it, but it would be excellent if Paul ran 3rd party. Paultards never had any intention of voting for the Republican nominee no matter who it was. They are not Republicans or conservatives and they hated all of our primary candidates other than their loopy leader. Most of the paulbots I knew in 2008 ended up voting for Obama or Libertarian - and they are going to do the same thing this time around. If Paul runs 3rd party, he will take far more votes from Obama than he will Romney.
Do you have any sources to back up that claim?
No shot.
