So my speculation: He will express his disappointment in either of the two major party's picks and issue a joint endorsement of Baldwin and Barr since in many states they may not share a ballot.

Note: I am notoriously wrong in my political predictions.

Ron won't endorse challenges to incumbent Republican Congressmen, so why would he openly endorse a non-Republican for President (unless he still considers Bob Barr a Republican,... Bob Barr does).

But Ron won't be able to avoid saying nice things about Chuck Baldwin.

The highest levels of negotiation between the Republican Party and Ron Paul is ongoing I am certain and the successful rally to Restore the Republic has given Ron Paul some 'hand' in the 2008 Election Cycle.

Ron Paul will attempt to use that hand in such a way that he believes his supporters will endorse later when it all comes out in the open (which it always does). It may be as big as a promise not to nuke Iran and save millions of lives in exchange for not bitch slapping McCain too much on national TV. But it had better be a really really 'big bribe' for it to be forgiven,... and even endorsed.

Never forget that Ron is still a Washington politician that has a very clear understanding of how the game is played. The r3VOLution has provided him a great hand to play with to play in the 'Big Game'.

But the 'Bad Guys' could at any time stand up, turn over the card table and start shooting everyone if they see that they are going to loose too much. If you sit down with these people to play, then this is the reality that you have to come to grips with.

No matter who wins this election, the government will certainly be the victor. The real advancement is between the ears of the people. Adding to the legitimacy of the political system is a step in the wrong direction,... IMNSHO

Too complex. This will tie Barr and Baldwin together via the CFL (and handsome cash contributions to their respective campaigns). Both Barr and Baldwin will represent the CFL at the Conservative Leadership Conference later this month and then, when the time is right, Baldwin will cite pragmatism (limited ballot access) to endorse Barr jointly with the CFL.

And now for someone whose dreams are about to be shattered...again.

I just marked my calendar. Hope it will at least be on CNN or FOX. I am a major supporter of Ron Paul, intend to vote Barr, so this is interesting. See my blog at http://www.alicelillieandher.blogspot.com
