Ron Paul 2012 On MSNBC

In a discussion that included Pat Buchanan on MSNBC Ron Paul was mentioned as a potential 2012 candidate for President.

This is the first I’ve heard Ron Paul’s name mentioned outside of libertarian blog circles with respect to running in 2012. I’m disappointed that Pat Buchanan wasn’t the one to bring up Paul’s name. Instead he seemed to be lobbying for Sarah Palin.

Paul’s name was mentioned by the left leaning pundit who seemed to make some good arguments. Then again I’m biased when it comes to the prospects of watching the campaign donation ticker fill up with money on RonPaul2012.com in a few years.

Here is the video. Ron Paul is mentioned right around the 3:00 mark.

    Actually she is saying NOT Ron Paul. To me it sounds like she said “someone like Ron Paul, who’s not Ron Paul,” implying that, for whatever reason, someone like Gary Johnson or the like that appeals to a libertarian segment. So she is saying that Dr. Paul should step aside?

    Vern,

    Yes, that is what she said, but it is still the only time I’ve even heard his name mentioned in such a discussion. I also noticed that no one laughed, which is a step up from the usual reaction people have when mentioning Ron Paul in such a forum.

    Small victories.

    -Marc
