Ron Paul to endorse Bob Barr and Cynthia McKinney, sort of

Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 11:44 PM

The Houston Chronicle reports Republican Congressman and former 2008 Presidential hopeful Ron Paul will offer a hearty 25 percent endorsement to the presidential candidacies of former Georgia congresspersons Cynthia McKinney and Bob Barr at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. tomorrow.

They don't quite put it in those terms.

The report says Paul will urge his supporters to reject Obama and McCain and instead cast a vote for any one of the four other candidates on the ballot this fall: former Republican-turned-Libertarian Bob Barr, former Democrat-turned-Green Cynthia McKinney, Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin, or independent Ralph Nader.

According to the National Press Club's events calendar, Paul and Barr each have press conferences scheduled tomorrow.

Perhaps Barr will be there to give Paul 25 percent of a thank you.

I fail to see how such a move will help any of the third party candidates or the Campaign for Liberty. A better, more effective thing would be to have a debate that includes all candidates, not just Obama and McCain.
