Just had an interesting thought.

Not that this is what they'll say on the 10th, BUT.....

Every member of the electoral college is in theory free to vote for WHOMEVER they so choose. So, what would happen say if Barr and Baldwin said they would
"free" any electoral votes they got to vote for Paul???

He would not be "on" the ballot and would still be a republican. But no one could do a thing.....

Yeah...the only remotely reasonable shot at getting any would be Maine or Nebraska cause they split the votes by Congressional district.

Such an announcement would ammount to an independent run for Ron Paul.

However the CP and LP would have to combine their slate to compete in vote counting terms. Plus they would have to Buy United Voting systems or whoever they are now.

sorry, we would all love to campaign for Ron Paul again but if he did that he would be discredited most likely.. :(

Ron's probably going to say...

"I called this press conference to make an endorsement. I, Ron Paul, hereby endorse....... NOT WRITING ME IN."

I agree. Ron Paul is not aiming for the presidency right now. I think he would be quite content taking a high profile position under a third party administration.
