Ron Paul to make September anouncement? Barr? [mod edit]

[nyrgoal99]

He said he will announce in September on Kudlow this evening. Hopefully he throws his support to Barr.

 

[Bruno]

He didn't say he was going to support Barr in September, just that in September he would probably announce who he would support.

 

[devil21]

That's not what he said. He was asked if he has endorsed Barr. RP said he would make an announcement in September. He did not say he would announce his support for Barr or anyone else.

 

[ItsTime]

unless he plans on leaving the Rep party he can not endorse him. And that is not the master plan

 

[idiom]

At teh CFL? He will be endorsing himself as Presidential nominee and Ventura as VP. I heard hims say that, didn't you?

 

[CasualApathy]

The title is misleading/misunderstood. He said that he hadn't endorced anyone, but that he was probably going to make "some kind of announcement in september"

 

[AJ Antimony]

Why does he need to make an endorsement? We all know it's either Barr or Baldwin and we all know who each of us will support. If anything, I bet he'll just reiterate NOT TO WRITE HIM IN as we're supposed to be a movement of intellects, not dumbshits.

 

[idiom]

Depends if the economy falls apart.

There could be a lot of room for an economic giant to step in and win an election against *all* odds.

 

[mport1]

I doubt he will make any endorsement.

 

[Eigen20]

He needs to explain that CFL is about ideas, not a person, and that while the roles of leader and face of the campaign do fall to him, it must be about more.

He definitely needs to emphasize that people shouldn't vote for him, as he has said that in some states such votes won't even count.

He needs to pick Baldwin or Barr, to unite his following. However many votes it will be, they will be more impressive as a block for one candidate than split between two similar candidates. It doesn't matter if he chooses honestly or privately flips a coin or makes them play a game of Connect4 for it, this movement will be stronger in November if he chooses.

The choice is probably tricky though. Both candidates are friends of his. His views align more closely with the Constitutionalists, but it could be misunderstood or be seen as a 'mixed' message if he endorses a minister. I don't think he is worried about rocking the GOP boat. He has repeatedly and convincingly admitted in interviews that he will not be endorsing McCain. Good, because in fact, to hell with the GOP. We are the true Republican party anyway.

 

[familydog]

I think he'll announce in September that he won't endorse anyone

 

[The Good Doctor]

Vp? :d

he didn't say he was going to support barr in september, just that in september he would probably announce who he would support.

 

[Original_Intent]

Take this to the bank - he won't endorse Barr.

I'd take bets on it, even money, but I am afraid I would be welched on. No offense to any people of Welch descent....waitaminit I am of Welch descent!

Anyway, it ain't happening. Nice pipe dream for you LP folks though. Heh, pipe dream, LP....I made a funny.

I know I know and I am a mean spirited theocrat for supporting Baldwin, even though I don't remember the last time I went to church or cracked a Bible.... ah well

 

[madRazor]

In my little pipe dream, an August / September of bank failures, hyperinflation and deep depression (bad) also brings heavily publicized riots at both conventions and a Paul endorsement of a united Barr/Baldwin or Baldwin/Barr ticket (good). Ah, well, I can dream . . .

 

[Knightskye]

Take this to the bank - he won't endorse Barr.

I'll take that to the bank and watch it de-value.

 

[Alawn]

I am guessing he will wait until after the convention the say, "Vote for either Barr or Baldwin and don't write me in."

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

Well..whoever he endorses..I'm voting for Barr. I'm not going to campaign for someone for months and then in september change horses...Barr it is. tones

 

[Alawn]

I am voting for Barr as well. I hope he endorses him. But he is friends with both of them and they are both good so it might be hard for him to decide. Barr is the only one to have any chance at getting more than .5%. He is able to get on the TV all the time and might if he is super lucky get into the debates. It would be much better for him to put his support behind Barr.

 

[acroso]

Barr is not a purist. He should endorse Chuck Baldwin.

 

[alaric]

Why does he need to make an endorsement? We all know it's either Barr or Baldwin and we all know who each of us will support. If anything, I bet he'll just reiterate NOT TO WRITE HIM IN as we're supposed to be a movement of intellects, not dumbshits.

If Ron endorsed someone, I bet it would make a lot of difference in who we vote for. If we trust him to vote for him, then we trust him to endorse someone!
