Default Re: I wanna start a Ron Paul thread too!

There's a sucker born every minute. Anyone who takes action on Paul to win in November at 15-1 is an idiot. They'll tell you to never bet on your favorite team in Sports betting for the same reason.

I mostly agree with this, but it's still an indicator, and a much more neutral one than most of the polls we've seen, online or off.

If Paul ran 3rd party, he would definitely take more votes from the Republicans. There are a lot more libertarian leaning republicans than democrats around.

Before Bush, the neo-cons and Iraq, when it seemed like Republicans were the lesser evil (to libertarians), supporting smaller government, this was true. Today, I'm pretty sure it's much closer to 50/50. Had I been forced to choose between Bush and Kerry in 04, I'd have definitely chosen Kerry. (of course, I voted for Badnarik)
