 Wouldn't you say this would have a lot bigger effect on the outcome of the election than Nader's running?

Paul Won't Rule Out Run as Independent
Ron Paul, the Texas congressman stirring up the Republican presidential contest with his libertarian-leaning views and online fundraising prowess, left the door open Sunday to running as an independent, should he not win the Republican nomination.

Damn is this DU or CU??

10. Paul would beat Nader in a fair fight. Nader had that stroke so he's
 not the man he used to be. Paul is not big, but he's wiry.

Darth Nader is ovahs in peeps mindez, but RoPaul isn't! Although we should be worried, as he also siphoned off some votes from our side. It's not like they like him, they just want a revolution.

5. My guess is that Nader and Paul would about cancel each other out.
 Nader will attract our lunatic fringe, Paul would get theirs.

6. I've got to believe this would help us put a Dem in the WhiteHouse
 So, yeah, I'm all for it too - UNLESS someone can convince me otherwise.

7. Someone's lying since I have seen multiple interviews where he said he would NOT run as a 3rd party
 The story is coming from a blog, so I have my doubts that it is true

Damn Buzzkill ass

9. Good - let him do battle with Nader for the Hair-ball vote.
 Get those pests out of everyone else's hair.
