So Barr staged a separate press conference, where he announced that he’s not here to make friends. More »

      Paul Un dorses McCain, Obama

      (Newser) - Ron Paul wants you to vote for a third-party candidate, CNN reports. The failed Republican presidential wannabe doesn’t particularly care whether you back Ralph Nader, Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney, or Chuck Baldwin—all of whom are declared candidates—but he had no kind words for John McCain or Barack Obama during today's endorsement.

      Ron Paul Hosts His Own Convention Across the River

      (Newser) - The McCain campaign has been talking with Ron Paul in attempts to bring his supporters into the Republican fold, even as Paul staged a separate rally for 10,000 loyalists across the river from the RNC in St. Paul tonight, the Washington Times reports.

      Paul Revels in GOP Rebel Role

      (Newser) - Fox relented and let GOP maverick Ron Paul join in last night’s South Carolina presidential debate, and the excitable libertarian made the most of the opportunity, the Los Angeles Times notes. Paul provided his characteristic stark contrast with the mainstream candidates and several of the evening's high points, as he witheringly cataloged the party's failings over the last 8 years to live up to what he considers conservative standards.

      Candidate Paul: Awkward But Authentic

      (Newser) - Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul speaks tonelessly about such drab subjects as the constitutionality of the Federal Reserve, but people like him anyway, writes Tucker Carlson in the New Republic , perhaps because they see “authenticity.” The no-longer-bow-tied pundit returns from the campaign trail sure about one thing: "The crowds at Ron Paul rallies aren't coming to be entertained."   More »
