Source: Paul 'Republican No More,' Not Ruling Out Third-Party Run
Lot of speculation. Things could get very interesting if this happens.

But why would he? He already has been shown to lack the support needed to win. He made his points. He will keep the rest of his campaign chest for his next election.
I heard Sarah Palin is running.
See - I can do it too.
I thought the whole point is to get the "O" out. Spitting the votes across the parties is NOT the way to do it.
Voting for someone you may not totally agree with, but may have the best chance to beat him - IS.
Don't vote for YOUR president to win - Vote for obama to LOSE.
This message is approved by my Mommy.
Here's a novel thought. The opposing parties could actually put up a candidate that people want to vote FOR.
I get what you did there. I think though that I would've worded the post you quoted to read something like this:I could get behind that. Too bad it hasn't happened yet.
....for Paul to get his name on the ballot in all 50 states, Paul would have to be on the Libertarian Party ticket.*
For that to happen, the Libertarian vice presidential candidate Jim Gray would have to drop out, and the Libertarian Party would have to put Paul on the ticket with Johnson, either as the presidential or vice presidential candidate. *
Cutler urged those on the call to write, call, and e-mail Paul’s offices urging him to run.*
I agree with mrjarrell...he's had a good run...he's old...he's done.
I'm sure he'll be interesting to watch on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight.
Oh snap. Robert Cray as well. I may have to tune in tonight. RC has a new album out.

Agree with this, in that I don't see anyone else out there preaching the same message that gets the same media attention. He also, somehow, seemed to have a very safe district where he could securely proselytize. I am afraid that Rand may not be very secure in this Senate seat. So I am not sure if he can assume the mantle of libertarian in chief within the GOP. I think you have to be a sitting rep in the Congress to have the same ability to get his positions out there. Unfortunately Ron Paul seemed to have a cult of personality about him that drew a lot of people to him personally and not as much to the philosophy of what he was saying. So we shall see if his influence is felt after a few years.The second part saddens me a bit. His message was just starting to gain traction and it worries me that the standard bearer of the movement will be passing the reins. Transitions can be the death knell for movements if the successor(s) can't perform.
