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

[Revolution9]

Good possibility GJ could embarrass the movement in a debate, huh?

Odds are better than 51 to 49.

Further on my point that Ron is the one who would bring the polling and the funding, apparently there was just a Rasmussen poll which included GJ with Obama and Romney. GJ got 1%. http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S2747708.shtml?cat=504 Admittedly, Ron also polls worst with Rasmussen who only did one poll on him, but Ron got 13% against Romney and Obama, in May, when the outcome of the primary was clear, and a good portion of Ron's support were afraid he'd sold out (now, I hope, resolved otherwise). In other polls Ron got 18% and 21%.

If this does go forward, it makes absolutely no sense to not have Ron at the top of the ticket where he could get them into the debates -- assuming the system is at all unrigged.

Does anyone have a link to the speech GJ mentioned RP recently?

We HAVE to lobby Dr. Paul.

No you don't.

Has Gary Johnson offered him the VP spot?

If you have to lobby anyone, it's Gary Johnson. Gary Johnson has to make the offer. What's the point of bugging Ron Paul about this?

I dont think Gary Johnson picked his vp

Yes, get Ron in the debates if at all possible!

unrigged?
Have you looked at your current avatar lately?

The polls sound great.

• Get Ron to Run!

So that he says yes if GJ offers him the PRESIDENTIAL slot. I wouldn't want him to take the vp slot.

It's ridiculous. The insider claim is false and all this is about is a bunch of Paul supporters flooding Ron's office with something he doesn't want to do. They told us they had an insider that knew Ron wants to run independent. But sending a few thousand or million emails to an unwilling party is what they are truly about.

 

[carterm]

daily paul is saying 0 chance of this happening?

 

[parocks]

I too want a Paul/Johnson ticket.

I am shocked that so many here have expressed a preference for a Paul / Johnson ticket over a Johnson / Paul ticket. So many sticking their neck out on that one.

by the way, you bug gary johnson, the libertarian party, not ron paul. And in terms of Pres or VP, you take what you can get. It goes without saying that Ron Paul would be the favored candidate over Gary Johnson on ronpaulforums.com .

the news is that he says he hasn't ruled it out, and one of the reasons he is thinking against it is his perception that he wouldn't have enough support, that is where the lobbying comes in. An email saying 'I would support your run if you were Pres nominee, to get you into the presidential debates, but can understand why VP wouldn't be worth it' isn't harassment.

Yes Gary has picked a VP, but he has reportedly said he'd make room for Ron as VP.

I'd rather have Ron independent or not run at all than VP so if Gary doesn't want to be VP with higher profile from more funding Ron would bring in, and the likelihood of being in at least VP debate -- instead of no debate at all -- and young enough to run again, despite the fact that GJ just got 1% in a Rasmussen poll against Obama and Romney, then that is fine. GJ doesn't have to do anything. But as VP I just don't see the benefit being worth it for Ron to run, particularly in second place to someone polling so far below him.

If they get into the debates, Ron is who will get them in, and the pollsters only mention the presidential candidate's name.

I'm guessing the chances of GJ voluntarily stepping aside for RP is slim to none.

 

[wgadget]

GJ would be foolish not to readjust to put Ron at the top. Just my opinion.

foolish or selfish.

but as far as we know, it might be solely up to GJ, it might be a joint agreement, or the head of LP or the voting body of the delegates..who knows...

I think the key may be to lobby GJ and RP simultaneously.

Somebody on the line earlier said he would be asking Gary Johnson in person Wednesday about it, and would ask his campaign tomorrow.
