Texas Rep. Ron Paul says fellow Republicans' hesitation to commit to the presidential race might stem from their belief it would be very difficult to defeat President Barack Obama in 2012. Paul — who Tuesday announced he is forming a presidential exploratory committee — also said in a CNN interview that running again as a third-party candidate is not his best option.
“They may believe that the president is stronger than most of the polls show,” Paul said Tuesday in an interview on CNN’s “In the Arena” with Eliot Spitzer. “The president is liked a lot — and in politics, being liked is very important. So, maybe they don’t think he is as vulnerable as the polls indicate he might be.”
