If Ron Paul ran 3rd party sure, but he can't win a republican primary. Republicans love war too much. I'm assuming the other you're talking about is gary johnson, and they won't even acknowledge he's running. But it brings up an important point. If Gary Johnson can't even get into the primary debates, how can a third party candidate get into the general debates? They'll exclude them and minimize them like always and by the time election rolls around no one will have heard about them. That's why I thought Ron Paul had a good idea in 07 running for the GOP just to get his name out but I don't see why he doesn't go independent in the general. He'd take more votes from the dems than republicans
