Another source has come out saying Ron Paul tinkering with 3rd party run.

[Indy Vidual]

I am for any ticket that screws Romney because of his ruthless fixing and rigging this election cycle.
There is an old saying from the bible "you reap what you sow", known today as "what goes around comes around".

Vote for LP or Obama.

BAD NEWS: Ron Paul 3rd Party Rumors Confirmed to be FALSE

its about the national debate. i honestly think we'd all be letting ourselves down if we let those two turds argue between each other like they have something of value to say. we can run ron this last time to open the minds of the nation and make them question why ron wasn't elected instead of the 2 idiots and why the third parties are always screwed. it takes a lot for somebody to awaken from the slumber.

I don't think that Ron Paul would run as an Indie just to get in debates. Look at what Doug Wead said about hitting Romney hard before Michigan. They decided not to because they didn't want the blowback by Romney, in part because of Ron Paul's "name" and also Rand's viability.

They understand that hitting the Republican is something that rank and file Republicans don't like. Will the rank and file Republicans that Rand needs respond well to Ron running as an I, in order to get into debates, but not being on the ballot? I would think no. Ron Paul taking the VP slot seems like something more reasonable, more expected. I expect that Gary would like to hustle a little more than Ron would at this point. Ron, I expect, would like to rest. VP might be just his speed at this point. GJ has been planning this campaign. He has the staff he wants, the plans, etc. That seems all very reasonable to me. Bug GJ to give Ron the VP slot. Unless you have Mark Cuban.

The most % wise the LP has gotten in a presidential election is 1% in 1980. That's about all I expect from GJ without Ron Paul on the ticket.

 

[parocks]

Hope so

The all-time Libertarian record is 1%.

 

[AmericasLastHope]

He's not running. Give it up.

Doug Wead said he's not running. I'll believe it when I hear it from Dr. Paul himself.

Again, a mistitled post there. He didn't just get off the phone with Paul, it was Wead. But..........

Well, it also takes the "too old to be President" meme off the table.

Good point.

GJ does actually have a resume. And we're pissed at Romney. And we're likely to vote for GJ (not all, but many). So, Ron Paul gets 15%, and GJ gets 1%? The ratio of Ron Paul to GJ is less than 15:1. 2 term Governor, pretty solid. Not many 3rd parties on the ballot. College students don't like Obama as much this time. These factors could get GJ over 1%.

Vote for LP or Obama.

I ain't voting for someone who is a terrible President, or someone I know will be a terrible President. GJ might not be a terrible President.

Like sailingaway has been saying,
Ron Paul has to be the one debating Obama and Romney AND has to be on the polling with Obama and Romney to even get a large enough poll to get into the debate.

We will soon have a Ruling that may offer a Re-vote with all delegates voting their conscience. That would be devastating to Romney

@tweetAmiracle Dr Paul knows he has a standing VP offer from GJ

wait.. WHAT? hold the show.. where did this come from (besides the top of page 46 in the thread)

Well, then, that makes it a no brainer for GJ--unless he doesn't see the value of the debates/polling numbers.

I share this feeling, but on the other hand, it just doesn't feel like it would be fair of us to lobby RP to take a VP slot to a guy probably 99% of the country even knows.

Richard Gilberts twitter (Lawyers for Ron Paul) ... he was apparently on the call and very upset about this.

He floated this a couple days ago (or maybe it was yesterday since I kind of lost track of time since the convention):

We can bring a case to write in Dr Paul in all 50 States as President without seeking to disenfranchise the voters of the Libertrian Party

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

So Libertarians only got 1% max? lol. That is worse that I thought. I thought they get 1-5%.

I remember in a video conference, gary says he expects to get "up to 15%" in the general elections.

if he isn't on the ballot, they won't ask about him in a poll.
