At first I wasn't too happy with this press conference as I was so hoping RP would announce he was running and someone was stepping aside or going to run with him as his VP candidate.
But, in retrospect, I think this was a brilliant move. RP is trying to shift attention to the 3rd party option, to legitimize it, to point out the lock the Government Class currently has on the political system and highlight their refusal to discuss the problems confronting the country. Ron Paul has taken a great step toward making the Republicrats irrelevant. They are pro-war, pro-imperialism, pro-child indoctrination and dumbing down, pro-socialism, pro-mercantilism, pro-Federal Reserve and continued monetary manipulation to benefit preferred cronies at the expense of the population, pro-open borders in the US, and anti-civil liberties.
Voting the 3rd party that at least addresses some of these issues is a more sane and moral option. And it will send a message that people aren't just going to vote for lesser evils, hoping that MAYBE, THIS time, THIS person will be better when they never are allowing the Republicrats to continue to loot and kill with impunity.
Of clourse, this assumes that someone is really counting votes.
