Source: Paul 'Republican No More,' Not Ruling Out Third-Party Run (tonight,JayLeno)
Breitbart ^ | 9-4-12 | Tony Lee

*snip*

Speculation about Paul’s intentions will intensify even more because Paul will appear on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno on Tuesday night to make an announcement, presumably about whether he will make a third-party run or support Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

Evan Cutler of Alaskans for Ron Paul told those on the conference call that he spoke at length with Paul and his wife last Friday.

Cutler said Paul told him he has not completely ruled out a third-party run. Cutler said Paul did express concerns about ballot access and the money that would be required for such a run.

According to Cutler, Paul was “no longer a Republican as of Friday,” and for Paul to get his name on the ballot in all 50 states, Paul would have to be on the Libertarian Party ticket.

Paul and Goode seem hellbent on putting the Kenyan back in the White House.

Thanks for nothing, guys.

Ron Paul is a fool. How can someone who loses a primary be able to run anyway? He should have just ran third party in the first place and maybe helped get a real conservative nominated.

God, such a dream, I hope it's true. Ron Paul on the ballot in all fifty states.. If there's anything to sink Obama faster, it's Ron Paul. War still going on, Obama risking soldiers in Afghanistan simply to remain a ‘wartime president.’ The nutroots will simply flock to Ron Paul. Oh, sure, liberal Romney will lose a few votes, mostly those who were protesting Obama’s lack of direction and effort, but Obama will lose the entire nutroots. The Code Pinkies, the Ganga Gang, they'll flock to Ron Paul and carry him high.

Shame we only have probably one of the most liberal Republicans ever to run for the White House. I mean, to the left of John McCain - that's something I never expected.

Run, Paul, run, take off with the libertarians! Scare the ever living daylights out of Obama, and push Romney to the right.

Unfortunately, this is only pipe dreams from the Ganga Gang. It will never happen. But a person can dream, right?

“End the Fed!”

Yes cause I know I’ll sleep better at nights knowing that the likes of Maxine Waters, Barbera Boxer and Chuck Schumer are in charge.

Good riddance! Oooops! I forgot that I told the GOP to kma in ‘07 when Jorge tried to push through amnesty with his elitist dipstick buddies. I guess Paul and I will have at least one thing in common. Don't worry GOP because Romney will try to give us everything Obama couldn't.

And the dream is crushed so quickly. Ahh well, the nutroots are stuck with the PRES(id)ENT. Quick! Let's watch Obama celebrate by playing golf, and gather together to sing the praises of the first governor to approve homosexuals calling themselves married.

Well good. Whether he did it for the sake of the country or sake of his son’s future political career . . . glad to hear it. Gary Johnson who? Now to win VA with that Goode fellow. Unleash the PAC ads on him.

Then we’ll proceed to push Romney further to the right every day if he wins with Ryan’s help.

This was taped hours ago. Why was this news embargoed? Issues of national security are leaked but not “this” bit of must watch tv? Feh.

Romney and Paul partnered in their attacks on the other candidates in the GOP primary.

Then he tried to hijack the nomination process without winning delegates in the primary.

Boo hoo.

...dong! LOL...

Amazing, this may be what puts Obama over the top.

That is if the blatant rampant voter fraud isn’t enough.

From a tiny ACORN the mighty fraud grows...

Thank you for the update!

I listened to several Dem speeches and just wasn’t able to listen to Paul as well.

I can only listen too just so much insanity in one evening. :)

That is good news.

Had Paul run as a third party candidate, Baraq would have easily won with the 45% of the vote he has completely locked up already.

Please stop looking like some old mare who hasn’t figured out it’s time to turn out to pasture.

You do this Ron and i will join Levin and activelly work against Rand....to the point I will even donate to his Democrat opponent.

NO JOKE?

Retire in dignity....
