Start getting your name out there now. Good luck, very excited!
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.

BAD advice. Do not run as a third party candidate.
Move to NH now as you need to claim to be here for 2 years before you may run for state house
But seriously, please remember to take bit coins and run on the green party. Or even the LP, after all, it did start in CO.
Btw, I heard Jesse Benton is looking for a job.
I will bet Bernanke's tripled monetary base that you get less than 5% if you do that.
Run as whatever you want. Challenge the encumbants! Imagine getting enough agitated people to run on the same platform for every office.
Very true. Unless you are an extremely well known, connected, well funded, experienced, respected individual whom nearly everyone in the district knows by name running as a third party candidate is a waste of time and money.
Take the path of least resistance, and be sure you do a damn good job for your constituents if you win.
I like that phrase.
Tip toe safely to death?
We're not here for long.
It only makes sense. I looked at 2010 CO State House results for the general. Depending on the district it takes 10,000-20,000 votes to win the seat. If the seat is in a Republican district, your fight will be in the primary election. From what I see you can win the primary with around 2,000-3000 votes. That is a lot less time, money and legwork.
Thank you sir!
"The average person figures that the president tells the truth, the vice president tells the truth, the secretary of state tell the truth; and they don't. They don't. The founders understood that people would be flawed, that political leaders would not be the best of men … so they set forth the constitution. We don't follow the constitution in this country; had we done so in 2001 and 2002, the world would be a different place" - Karen Kwiatkowski
Is losing desirable or something? Did you see what I highlighted?
I think not challenging is an automatic loss.
Yes, you highlighted the path of least resistance.
Thanks again for everyone's encouragement. I live in CO's HD10, for those that have asked, which is one of the most Democratic HD's in the state, which is a huge challenge in many ways.
And to answer Matt's question, I have actually taken a class from Campaign For Liberty and the Leadership Institute and have been extremely happy with both. I've also helped out on some local races and have helped to organize volunteers, so I have seen at least a little bit of the 'inside' work of a campaign.
Truthfully, it's exciting.
Thank you for all of your service Ron Paul. You have awakened a great number of liberty minded folks, and inspired many to run for office themselves.
I really hope you consider running as a Liberty Democrat.
May the force be with you
You got European support even!

The status quo has two shots at winning a primary to participate in the General. R and D.
Yep. Look at Tennessee's Mark Clayton for inspiration.
