A new Pew Research survey shows that a third-party campaign by Ron Paul would clearly work to President Obama's advantage: In this scenario, Obama would receive 44%, Mitt Romney would get 32% and Paul would get 18%.

In a two-way general election match up, Obama receives 50% while Romney gets 45%.

"Paul has repeatedly said he is not contemplating a third-party run, but has not ruled it out. While most of Paul's backing in a three-person race comes from independent voters, they are independents who disproportionately lean Republican."

And a bonus quote...

"President Obama has faced the starker version of what happened to me in the '94 elections, where things were getting better, but people didn't really feel it."

-- Bill Clinton, in an interview with Esquire.

I thought Nader spoiled the 2000 election for Gore. Didn't he cost the Democrats Florida and New Hampshire?

Apparently Newt's ex-wife is going to torpedo him, and expose his uh, hypocrisy.

Yeah, I guess the 1% or so Nader got would have made enough of a difference. I was looking at Perot and the recent MA races, sorry I forgot that one.

this. If Ron Paul runs on as a third party candidate, Obama is going back into office. It's really that simple.

No matter if Obama or one of the non-Paul republicans get elected, nothing will change. So if a piece of shit career politician, ass clown, fucktard is going to get elected anyway, I'd rather vote on principles than practicalities.

So make him the party candidate - job all done.

I won't vote for Mitt Obamney.
