That's right, Ron Paul is running for (Vice) President! But only in Virginia, unfortunately. The Independent Green Party of Virginia has collected 70,000 signatures to help put a Bloomberg/Paul ticket on the Presidential ballot here in Virginia. Both Michael Bloomberg (New York mayor) and Ron Paul appear willing to stay on the ballot - in Virginia all that is needed is for both candidates to abstain from requests to be taken off.
So this gives the Ron Paul supports of Virginia a chance to actually vote for Ron Paul! Of course the Green Party got the President/Vice President order wrong, but this is still an impressive maneuver. Virginia is an important "swing State" in this election and the Ron Paul ticket has the potential to cause some chaos and give unhappy Americans an outlet to voice their displeasure with government. They say that government hates it when you laugh at them and what better way to mock our government than to vote for a Presidential ticket that is half-way a joke with a technically impossible chance of winning? Another benefit is the potential for additional media attention focused on Ron Paul's message of individual liberty. As Patrick Henry said, "liberty sir was the objective." Maybe someday soon liberty will once again be the objective of all citizens in this great Commonwealth - even the Virginian Greens.

You have to be kidding?!?!?!
Bloomberg is an elitist NWO tool... and the complete opposite from Ron Paul.
He used to be a Democrat.
This is a sick joke being played on Ron Paul and he needs to remove himself right now from that ballot.
i think bloomberg/paul would make fine leaders.
