IF Ron Paul decides to run as a 3rd party candidate, he will hand the election back to BO - just like Ross Perot handed it to Clinton twice.

Gary Johnson is the Libertarian Party candidate - Ron Paul can endorse him! When Paul ran on a third party it was the Libertarian Party.

Those who can't see clear to voting for Romney can vote for Johnson to keep the LP on the ballot and as a protest. It would be appreciated.

Of course, I still think Newt Gingrich was our best choice, but Gary Johnson was my second choice.

Rich you are absolutely correct a moderate republican does more damage than a liberal Dem. With a socialist Democrat versus a conservative you see a distinct difference. When you compare a liberal with a moderate the uninformed voter argues that there’s no difference between the parties and that’s a hard point to counter. The choice this season is to jump in the pool with the alligators or jump in with the piranhas. I have to go with Mitt and hope he can be shown the light, the alternative is too ghastly to contemplate.

That is true and because of that, I don't believe that he will run as a 3rd party. But he also realizes that if Romney wins and does the same BS that Zero is doing, conservatives will be blamed just like they blamed conservatives for Bush's socialist policies. That is what voting in a moderate does, it denigrates conservatives even though the cause is leftist policies enacted by an R.

Ron Paul has consistently thrown cold water on the notion that he would run 3rd Party. On the other hand, he has also consistently stated he could not see himself endorsing someone like Romney. So my best guess: Ron Paul endorses nobody & does not run 3rd Party. Unless the economy implodes before November or gas goes up over $5/gallon, Obama will probably win re-election... although I'd be happy if he doesn't, but Romney will not change very much the wrong course the nation is headed.

How Romney and Our Republic Can Win (Part 2)

Last week, I showed how the Republican Party likely would lose the presidential election in November if it were to use conventional campaign tactics. However, I also explained an unconventional strategy that could usher in victory for the GOP and our republic -- a tactic used by President Abraham Lincoln.

This week, I want to elaborate more on Lincoln's concept of a team of rivals -- and who could be a part of it -- and also share with you the inspiring dream my wife, Gena, had that we both hope comes true.

For those who missed Part...
