[This is what I really, really wanted to happen. There is no greater libertarian statesman I can think of than Ron Paul. I will almost definitely support Paul in '08 rather than whichever LP candidate is nominated. Actually, come to think of it, the best thing would be if Paul runs for the GOP, and then the LP also nominates him as the Libertarian Party candidate! I think he could actually win the whole election. And it would certainly be a candidate that small and large-L libertarians could get motivated about. Ron Paul already has his first camapign contributor as of this moment! --Nic]
