Note: there is a disinfo video circulating by some "Israel Whatizname" purporting to speak for Doug Wead, saying Paul has ruled out a third party run. Wead never appears in the video and the guy looks like he needs a bath. Wead has not made such a statement. GOP trolls are out in force masquerading as Johnson Libertarians attempting to quash speculation and support for a Paul run. Please be aware of this.

Here is the low-down from the historic conference call last night (at call capacity, over 1,000 people, another 1,000 streaming over the Internet.) I listened to a couple of hours of it, it went briskly and professionally. This is what Alaska delegate and call organizer Evan Cutler reported from his recent conversation with Ron Paul.

- Dr. Paul doesn't do Facebook or even computers much, so he doesn't have that sense of how much over-the-top support he has out here. He thinks he might not have enough to do a third party run even though he is open to it.

- Obviously it is do-able or he wouldn't have left the door open. All the talk about sore loser laws and ballot difficulties presumes Dr. Paul doesn't know about these things. As we know, he knows more about how these things work than most of us will in 20 lifetimes. So focusing on obstacle is (my opinion) just plain silly if not outright trollish.

- If he does run, he would like us to be in the precincts as officials and poll watchers to keep it honest. There is no sense doing a run if they can just steal it. We are talking a big time, precinct-by-precinct operation. We have the numbers for it.

Those are the biggest take-aways I got. Forget about the "leave him alone" and "let him rest" meme. He is taking the temperature. If you are going to call to express support, now is the time to do it.

I just still think this needs to be a split ticket with Johnson. If Johnson is pulling 3-5% and we can get another 12-15%, we're well on out way to invading the minds of the general American voter.
 
How much can ron paul realistically raise to be able to compete? Will he even be included in telephone surveys?
 
Another big question - if he somehow got on the LP ticket, would that open them up to having ballot issues with the states/opposition? They are already trying to get the LP off the ballot in PA, would something like this make it easier to get tossed off in PA and other states?

Everyone should stop with the speculation over details and just phone the numbers with an affirmative.

If RP is in then we immediately go to Phase 2.
 
If you are down with this plan get on those phones and email. We need to lobby Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, and the LP nonstop from now until Leno.
 
I will call tomorrow. Question though..I see the address is the campaign committee...is that the same people who ran his GOP bid?
 
I was on the call listening lastnight, it's about a VP for Ron with Gary as Pres. I don't think that will work. And the LP have already chosen their candidates, I think the LP members need to be polled on this in any case.
 
As much as I wish it was true, I can't imagine Benton/Tate turning Ron Paul, Inc over to the LP.

And if he were going to run as a third party, he'd need to mount legal challenges in a lot of states to get on the ballot. The "he wants us all to be involved" flies in the face of everything the campaign has said and done over the past few months, too.

I would be happy to log in tomorrow and have everybody mocking me for being so terribly wrong, too.

Having Ron Paul in there SOMEWHERE is better than nothing. With Gary Johnson being very similar to RP, I'm all for it. Wish it would be the other way around but I'm not sure if that would happen.

I believe that was what the caller was indicating as best but I do not think Ron Paul said that.
 
If he ran as VP with Gary it would help the LP very much but they would not win. Don't get me wrong I will be voting for Gary anyways but I'm saying I just don't see Ron doing this.

The only reason he would do this would be to show the GOP why they need to start treating us with some respect. It would not mean to be an indication to us to leave the GOP at all. Even thought the GOP can burn in hell forever for all I care it is still the best bet we have. In two years we all better be ready to start this over again provided Mittens bombs in the election. If not then we must swallow are pride and work within the Democrat party. Thats what im thinking and I'm always right.

But KNOW that I am a Libertarian Big and Little L.
