He'd suck some votes from McFail and I'm all for that.

1. He has a large following in NW AR and even in Springfield MO
Was there yesterday and saw Ron Paul signs but none for McCain. Paul has said he will not run as an indy, but perhaps the Libertarians will "draft" him. That would be good.

2. He won't. The left is much more interested in shooting ourselves in the foot
than the right.

4. The DLC does a good job of shooting itself in the foot.
They don't need the Left to do it.

3. He can't
Sore Loser Laws keep him off the ballot in TX and OH. And you can't win the presidency without those two states.
