Count me out. But, I just heard a panelist on Rev. Al's show say that there's a growing possibility that Ron Paul will launch a third party campaign. Reportedly, he's really upset at the personal nature of the attacks coming from his opponents, and since he won't be running for the House under the Repub brand, the likelihood grows stronger that he will indeed go 3rd party. And I say, GO FOR IT, RON!
