Speculation Mounts That Ron Paul Will Launch Third Party Presidential Bid On Tuesday’s Tonight Show
Mediaite ^ | 9/4/2012 | Noah Rothman

Speculation is mounting that Texas Rep. Ron Paul will mount a third party bid for the presidency as pressure from his supporters builds ahead of his appearance Tuesday night on NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

According to a report, Paul’s supporters were deeply upset by how the libertarian Texas Representative was treated at the Republican National Convention last week. 300 of them joined in a conference call on Sunday night planning to urge Paul to launch a last-minute independent bid for the White House.

In order for Paul to appear on the ballot in all 50 states, he would have to join the Libertarian party’s ticket — either as former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson’s running mate or as his replacement. The party’s present vice presidential nominee, Jim Gray, would have to drop out of the race.

Absolutely, and why I stopped voting for the two big government private club parties. I have simply stopped supporting things I oppose.

Don’t be silly, Ron wouldn’t get .000001% of the idiot vote Perot got.

Besides, he only takes voters away from Gary Johnson! lol

Clueless.
Its been pre recorded for decades.
BY the way the NBC peacock in not real too.

Weren't you the clown promoting everyone helping Jerry Brown by not voting for Whitman in 2010 ?

Now the GOP is now dead in Calif ?

Are you back to help out another Dem party pal Barry and Mochelle.

I figure paulnuts are now in deep depression that their Leader is not running.

There will likely be another month of false rumors and then after a month, they’ll begin the conspiracy theories on why he didn’t run.

When Romney is elected and they realize their irrelevance, they’ll go on a dope smoking spree and relive their 911 Truther Inside Job...nuttiness.

Are you this oblivious to a tired PR scam ? Depending on the time of year and holidays these shows are pre recorded one to two or more days in advance. My nephew worked in Leno show and now on another talk show.

Gov. Gary Johnson's not going to step aside for Ron Paul. Why would he? Paul's had his chances and even run as a Libertarian before.

If Ron Paul really knows what's good for this country he'll stay out off the General election ballot.

Rand Paul himself has publicly endorsed Mitt Romney - both at the convention in his speech and before. This would create a rather awkward situation.

LOL!

I remember you now!

Just because it's pointed out you're incorrect again, no need start making reckless baseless comments as you have been known to in the past.

They are the ones that let Code Pink into the convention so that is no surprise.
