Great article.

Amusing, and it does raise a hilarious consideration: if we are able to achieve a brokered convention, unable to secure the nomination for Ron Paul, and willing to run 3rd party---giving Santorum the nomination would be brilliant. I can think of no better parting gift for the GOP than being left...

I hope Paul's performance is able to help keep Romney under 1,144.

Announcement: GO CATS

Peter Schiff is great.

Not great for the GOP primary. It highlights our strengths for the general election or a 3rd party run, but associating Paul with Obama's expressed ideals is risky, no?

I am less interested in punishing the GOP than I am spreading the liberty message. National polls indicate strong support beyond the GOP. I feel we have as much ground to gain with the Left as we do with the Right. Polls predict Paul pulling votes from both Romney and Obama. I see that as an...

I hope we would also be able to shift mainstream discussion more toward liberty movement ideals, on both the right and left. If both opposing candidates are predicted to lose votes to Ron Paul, in what may be a close race, then I think the influence of our liberty ideals have a real chance of...

Great contribution. I think Libertarian Party, Constitution Party, or Americans Elect make most sense as first options to consider. Ballot access is a major consideration Libertarian Party achieved access in 45 state +DC in 2008, without Paul.

Great ad for a 3rd party run. Not so great for the GOP base.

I agree.

We need to claim 'spoiler' as a virtue. Ron Paul, spoiling _______________ since 1976: undeclared wars tax hikes national debt the erosion of civil liberties corporate welfare inflation tax modern day Jim Crow laws ... I am sure we can think of many more.

Rather than pointing fingers at potential supporters for things that have already happened, I am more interested in harnessing their strength. I believe a Ron Paul 3rd Party run is capable of exactly that.

And to me, that is exactly the point. 25k liberty-minded individuals in your example still considered GOP association to be a barrier to supporting Paul. I am more inclined to believe that it is the exact opposite of a lack of principles that kept them from voting. They may also not have voted...
