Should Ron Paul run as a third party?

[Spindrift]

So, who would a Paul third party run hurt more, Romney or Obama?

I don't think his running favors either side.

IMHO: He will pull more Republicans than Democrats, but I think he will pull more independents who would vote for Obama than Romney, so I think it balances.

Apparently he's pulling younger voters, but those are voters who probably wouldn't be voting if he's not running.

It could push Romney further to the right than he'd like to and that might not be good for Romney.

On the other hand I could be totally wrong.
