ok... first off

- This thread isn't about whether you like these guys or if they're socialists

- While an endorsement from them would hurt paul in the primaries, this question poses a hypotetical for the general election

- Constructive comments please


If we see Paul as the republican nom, which he will be do you think there's possibility of major dem endorsements? I mention richardson and kucinich cause they both call for immediate withdrawals from Iraq (with some caveats). Since Foreign Policy is really the heart of this election do you think there might be a chance of some really controversial bipartisan endorsements. Ever republicans endorsing hillary if Ron Paul is the Nominee.

As long it happens after the nominations I am all for an ideological catfight.

No, it won't hurt him. Unfair media coverage over it might or might not hurt him.

No.

That's more likely. Average republicans don't want to see Paul dismantle corruption that took them decades to build.

It might make some traditional republicans raise their eyebrows. Assume you're a typical conservative Republican voter. Suddenly you start seeing these socialist liberal democrats supporting your guy. Might make you think twice.

I more wondering would Kucinich and Richardson dare to endorse Ron Paul and go against their parties, I think kucinich Might, Richardson is fairly outspoke but i don't know if he's capable of doing the write thing if it would slight his party.

richardson is weak. Kucinich is the man
