“Hillary’s team is probably sending him campaign contributions and after his inevitable loss in the primaries, will urge him to run as an Independent.”
Very smart theory on your part.
I have read about a political pundit saying about the same thing. That MoveOn.org wants Ron Paul to do well enough in the polls to encourage him to run third party, thus the Dems win.
Paul did run for president with the Libertarian Party before he became a Republican.
I must say that thought crossed my mind as well.. however, after further consideration I think an "independent" Ron Paul candidate will pull a bunch of the "Anti-war" folks away from the HildaBEAST.. anyone else think that as well or just me?
