RP also has Barry Goldwater, Jr's endorsement.

Can’t wait to see Ron go third party. /s

This should be good enough to win the White House for Hillary no matter what anyone else does.

[xrp]

It seems freedom is still a tiny bit popular with some, then.

[xrp]

Can’t wait to see Ron go third party.

Heck yeah man! I can't wait to vote for 3rd Party Ron Paul!

Unfortunately, it appears New Mexico has the last primary in the nation (tied with South Dakota), on June 3rd. I fear the nominee will long since have been determined before anyone in NM gets to vote on the matter.

Why did Ron Paul file for re-election to his House seat?

[Cruising Speed]

third party

Possible, he did before.

Both the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party have invited him to run for their nominations.

"I am endorsing Ron Paul for the Republican nomination for President because of his commitment to less government, greater liberty, and lasting prosperity for America. We are at a point in this country where we need to reduce our dependency on government and regain control of our future. To this end, Ron Paul will bring back troops, end the War in Iraq, and will strengthen the U.S. dollar and the economy. For these reasons and more, Ron Paul has my support, respect, and vote."

Must be another 'moonbat' or 'truther'.

LOL!

[DoughtyOne]

Well, when he can’t get the nomination in the RP, don’t count it out. That’s the next thud to hit the floor IMO.

[DoughtyOne]

I was actually being serious. I agree with you. It wouldn’t be that hard, and I think he wants it bad enough.

[Nextrush]

“Who Is Ron Paul?” posters are on phone polls here in PA, but in places like Montana and Alaska (February 5th states) I see support for Paul. Delegates, I dont know.

He got four delegates in Nevada on Saturday.

He should talk more about less government and less about the “war” unless he wants to advocate winning it.

For now he’s off my radar screen and just as unacceptable as McCain.

A lot of what he says about government being too big and people being less free is right. but I think he’s the wrong messenger.

Goldwater Jr. would make a better messenger than Ron Paul.

Johnson is a true friend of liberty!

His support for Dr. Paul is great news.

[CHATTAB]

Ron Paul gets my vote too.

[Paleo Conservative]

But how many states would ban Ron Paul from running as an independent after running in the Republican primary? Texas has a sore loser law that prohibits primary losers from running again in the general election for another party.

wrong messenger

I'd say 'better messenger', but you are essentially correct.

It is the message that is exciting people, not so much the messenger.

an independent

No, he won't run as an independent, he has ruled that out specifically.

[Paleo Conservative]

No, he won't run as an independent, he has ruled that out specifically.

Well he sure as hell isn't going to get the Repulican nomination nor is he going to to have enough delegates to have any say on whom the convention nominates. He won't have the ability screw up the convention the way Buchanan did at the 1992 Republican Convention in Houston.

Recently, a young man became an ardent supporter of RP. He recently got his citizenship and has been reading up on American history.

He said he was impressed with the way RP stood up to Hillary and McCain (who often vote the same way). He makes a lot of money in the computer sector, owns his own company, in fact.

These are the folks pushing RP, in my opinion. In the past, the Libertarian message has only gotten 2% to 5% at best.

I'm for anything that gets the message out.
