2. Too fucking late. He is barely known nationally.
What an egotistical tool.

5. His personal fortune is $6 BILLION
I wouldn't take him lightly. He's a first class prick but that doesn't mean he can't buy himself the presidency.

8. Huh? He doesn't need to run in a primary. All he needs to do is
have enough time to get on ballots in various states--why would he run as long as the party candidates, without a primary?

9. Why so soon?
Whatever man. Let him peel away even more barely existent (R) votes.

10. A third party candidate has never won the necessary majority of electoral votes
the Constitution is quite clear on the selection of the President. I find it unlikely that members of the next elected Congress would throw support to a candidate not from the respective two major political parties.


Even Perot who got a respectible percentage of the popular vote carried no states.

11. Within the party or as a spoiler?
Don't care if he runs but please get on board and tough it out with the others and please don't do a Nader.
