Guess he should have signed, after all, his winning was always a long shot. I loved both Kucinich and Gravel for bringing up a POV that the 'big' candidates didn't. Even Paul was denied and hassled like Kucinich was, but I'd forgotten in the emotional rhetoric that surrounded those primaries.

Not that I watched the GOP debates, etc, but Paul had a large anti-war youtube group I communicated with back then. They were not adverse to having either Gravel or Kucinich on the same ticket with Paul, some wanted that fusion. Paul said if people voted for universal health care he would work to make that happen.

I was not surprised the GOP tried to run Paul out of office just before the elections; but I was disappointed when it appeared the Democrats tried to run Kucinich out at the same time by offering candidates to take their seats. I believe though, that Kucinich is now on the way out due to GOP gerrymandering. He had an appeal out a while back for funding as his seat will be eliminated and he will have to run with a different demographic.

There were rumors the GOP funded a Green Party candidate in TX and elsewhere to diffuse the vote. It seemed to have been admitted. Nothing is too low for the GOP to do.

Of course they have the Koch brothers money to finance this stuff, so they have a motive to make all the mischief they can. so they do.

Thanks for the reply there.
