RE: Ron Paul
My one main fear is the man might run as an Independent. We have a significant number of Ron Paul Cultists in America who will ensure a second Obama term if this happens.
And if Ron Paul is the nominee, do you vote for Ron Paul in November 2012?
Does Bloomberg run as a 3rd party? Or Trump? Or Romney?
What “Ron Paul Cultists” are doing a lot of these days is calling Iowans in an organized fashion. Voter ID and GOTV.
I’m not sure what a Ron Paul third-party run would do. A lot of the youth vote that went to Obama last time would shift to Paul, as would the votes of the kind of leftists who think Obama has just followed in Bush’s footsteps because of his failure to shut down Gitmo and his Libya intervention.
I suspect he’d prove to be more of a John Anderson than a Ross Perot.
Big cheap narcissistic thrill for the nutcase perps, major headache and trouble for the nation.
