If Ron Paul has so much support, I expect to see a third party run after he loses the Republican primaries.

Why do you expect that? He has already said "No" on several occasions.

But if 80% of the people want him, wouldn’t there be a massive grass roots effort to have him run?

He said tonight he wouldn’t support anyone who won’t pull the troops out immediately.

That means either he supports Obama or he runs himself. If you’re so determined to have him win, wouldn’t you support his running as an independent?
