Is anyone following what's happening in the libertarian, green & constitution parties?
What is the likelihood that any of these parties will officially endorse Ron Paul?
Another question;
Should Ron ask them for their official support or would this make any difference?

Greens would probably not support him, but many others might.

Getting Perot's people would be easy, I should think.

Ron Paul should try to seek Ross Perot's endorsement.

Odds are if you are in a party other than dem. or rep. you are a thinking person show cares about issues. i.e. not a sheep. I would venture to guess all these people are paying enough attention to be aware of the Ron Paul Revolution.

The green party might be somewhat of an exception.

I don't think the Libertarian Party can legally endorse him (they have certainly bylaws that prevent them from doing this), but we don't need their official endorsement. Most Libertarians will vote for him anyway. We will NOT get an official endorsement from the Greens, but I can see a few Greens voting for him as well. The Reform Party is a possibility. The only party we know for sure would give him an official endorsement is the Constitution Party (they had an article saying that they would back him up).

I think Libertarians and Constitution Party members largely support him. Having an official party endorsement would have to be something decided at a national convention.

I suppose when the election comes, he could be a coalition candidate. This is done in Europe sometimes where a candidate will be supported by more than one party.

Parties we know WON'T support him (I hope):

Prohibition Party
Socialist Party
Communist Party
American Nazi Party

You're correct about the bylaws, though their is some what of a movement to endorse Paul anyways. If he looses the Republican nomination, they'll likely give him their's if he wants it. If he wins the Republican nomination, they'd practically be destroying their party to officially support him.
