If Paul runs for president as a third party cnadidtate it helps the gop nominee. The cut and run candidate, Ron Paul.
No, it doesn't. It would drive a stake through the GOP and it may be possible that Paul would actually be the winner. You see, contrary to popular beliefs here, leftists and liberal organizations don't support Paul.
This is why it's silly to attack Paul. If the GOP was smart, they'd leave him alone and let him do his thing and court him when the primaries are over.
