So did Wolf Blitzer a few days ago when they debated in Iowa. I don't think he will.

Normally that would be true yes, but it seems like some of his most ardent supporters are from the left. I mean, I don't think you're going to find a lot of 9/11 truthers out there that vote Republican. Either they are so on board with his foreign policy they don't care what else he wants to do, or they don't understand that his policy of government non-involvement extends to all things and would result in the destruction of social programs they like.

Also, saying 99.9 percent sure he's not running as a 3rd party candidate is leaving the door open for just such a run. If he really wasn't going to do it, he'd just say "No I'm not doing that." You've got to think he's energized by the outpouring of support he's getting and his fundraising successes.

If he runs as a thrid party candidate, he hurts republicans more than he does democrats, and he knows it. He might not give a ^%&@ and do it anyway, since he's more about principle than party, but he hurts them more. Again though, just my opinion.

"A theory that explains everything, explains nothing"

Ron Paul, for all his internet bulletin board appeal, couldn't start a lawnmower.

I don't think he'd even approach the appeal of either Perot or Nader. Footnote waiting to happen the moment his "voters" suddenly have to figure out what he stands for, and realize that "Hey! I really like half of what this guy stands for!!!" can quickly become "UGH! I can't stand half of what this guy says!"

There is a definite need for a third party in this country, can you imagine a coalition gov't in congress, talk about not being able to get things done.

OTOH, as much as I like Ron Paul, not sure he is the one.. too closely aligned with the right..

What do you mean by "the right"?...Neo-cons, Bill Cosby, Buchanan , Robertson, ...lots of versions and definitions.

The American system of government is not made for a third party or any more than two parties. Everything is predicated on "dividing the aisle" and debating mano y mano. To introduce a third element would only invite others to introduce a fourth, then a fifth, a sixth, and so forth, until we would have what there is in Europe: endless muddlingness, constant coalition forming, then disagreement, coalition break-down, new election, and back to square one, do it all over again. It is where the dumbed down effect is to move at a glacial pace on everything from the price of garlic to the building of a tunnel between two countries. Bleh-h!! America definitely doesn't need that.

I agree Nem, and if I were a Republican I would never trust him, he has a sneaky little face also.

I know you've been gone for a while, so for your information, the US government has been taken over by corporations and special interest cash. You won't be able to get that in the MSM or the internet. No one votes anymore because the cynicism is so deep the people don't bother. We have been kept busy working trying to pay our bills and taxes and most of us have been sold - completely sold - on the myth of the consumer and money gods. There is no longer any defineable difference between the two parties. There is now a one-party regime in place. What we need is a new party to oppose the Republicrats for a return to a two-party rule.
