Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said he hasn't given much thought to a presidential campaign as an independent, but called laws making a third-party bid more difficult a "shame."

Paul, who announced that he wouldn't seek reelection to his House seat in order to focus on his presidential campaign, hinted at the possibility of a third party campaign for the White House if he doesn't win the GOP nomination.
