Do you think Dr. Paul will announce his candidacy as a Third Party Candidate?

hehe, I couldn't resist. Forgive me BluesMan.
He stated at the beginning of his campaign that he would not run on a third party ticket. I won't hold him to that.
It would be wonderful if he realized that the Republican party is as unsalvageable as the Democratic party is, and that both are responsible for the deplorable state that this nation is in.
I would vote for him with little or no reservation.

...as would I... He needs to say why he changed his mind though if he does decide on a 3rd party ticket.
No, I do not believe Dr. Paul will run as a third party candidate. The democrats and republicans have put up barriers to third party candidates and it takes a lot of effort and money to get on the ballots of the various states unless you are a democrat or republican. However, I am intrigued as to what his announcement will be.
Pure speculation...
1. Formal endorsement of Bob Barr.
2. Dr. Paul going to announce his retirement, handoff the Campaign for Liberty to some new personality. (Understandable, as Mrs. Paul has been seriously ill in the hospital in recent months.)
Ron Paul on Colbert report yesterday. Entertaining! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySTI...videosearch?sa=N&tab=nv&q="ron paul""Colbert"

No. This was on Glenn Beck on 03 Sep 08. I watched it live:

Note that he says, "No, and I think that's an overstatement about me negotiating..." Basically, the party said if he lets them know when he is going to be at the RNC, he can attend.

He could run as VP and not break his word. Like I said earlier, he needs to say why he changed his mind though if he does decide on a 3rd party ticket. He had better have a good reason if he does change his mind. It had better be clear. His credibility thus far has not suffered as that of other politicians. If he changes his mind, he should be honest and say he changed his mind. At least that is more respectable than a smoke screen.
I really don't see Dr. Paul being dishonest. Secondly, in my opinion, he has been very successful...unfortunately, the elitist controlled media has clandestinely swept many of his and his supporters' successes under the proverbial rug.

Stage 2,
As a rule I believe in being honest and truthful. I especially advocate holding a politician to his or her word when it comes to matters of personal freedom and liberty. This is not one of those cases. Nobody would be harmed if Dr. Paul were to run with another party.
It was a promise made that, in the view of many, could be more harmful that beneficial. Nothing wrong with breaking your word if keeping it does more harm than good

If he announces a third party run today, he should be able to achieve ballot status in enough states for a theoretical electoral majority in about 6 months, if everyone works very hard.
Such a silly idea. People obviously know nothing about how the duopoly has made ballot access difficult to impossible for anyone but major party candidates, while making it automatic for the major party duopoly.
