Yesterday Brian Doherty blogged about the eternal recurrence of the third party. Meanwhile over at RonPaul.com, they're running a running mate poll for 2012.
(The poll doesn't specify whether we are talking about a major party run or a third party run.)
The list is pretty dispiriting, simply as a catalog of prominent libertarian/libertarian-friendly/libertarian-tolerant politicos (although several on the list may not even meet those basic criteria).
For a fun bonus activity, tally up the number of truthers and/or birthers on the list in the comments section.
If Ron Paul runs for President in 2012, who should be his running mate?
- Adam Kokesh
- Rand Paul
- Michael Badnarik
- John McCain
- Lew Rockwell
- Michele Bachmann
- Mitt Romney
- Alan Grayson
- Michael Bloomberg
- Cynthia McKinney
- Jim DeMint
- Pat Buchanan
- Jesse Ventura
- Sarah Palin
- Gary Johnson
- Mel Watt
- Mark Sanford
- Glenn Beck
- Mike Huckabee
- Alex Jones
- Dennis Kucinich
- Andrew Napolitano
- Chuck Hagel
- Wayne Allyn Root
- Lou Dobbs
- Peter Schiff
- Chuck Baldwin
FYI: At the moment, Andrew Napolitano and Peter Schiff are the front runners.

Running Mate for Ron Paul?
I would not pick any congressional libertarian as Ron Paul 's running mate. They are needed in Congress. Someone like Michael Badnarik or Gary Johnson or Andrew Napolitano or Chuck Baldwin would be great. Lew Rockwell is valuable where he is. Alan Grayson and Alex Jones have no public relations know-how. They are loud mouths whose boisterous attitudes offend too many people. The only job the Vice President will have is as a public relations individual and as a future presidential candidate. That puts Chuck Baldwin, Michael Bardnarick and Andrew Napolitano at the top of my list. I don't know how Cynthia McKinney's name got on this list - talk about a public relations disaster!
