Ron Paul will call on supporters to back a third party candidate for president Wednesday, rejecting his own party’s nominee and offering equally harsh words for the Democratic candidate.
Paul, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination, will tell supporters he is not endorsing GOP nominee John McCain or Democratic nominee Barack Obama, and will instead give his seal of approval to four candidates: Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney, Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr, independent candidate Ralph Nader, and Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin, according to a senior Paul aide.
The announcement will take place in the morning at the National Press Club in the nation’s capital.
While Paul failed in his bid for the Republican nomination, he found a large, diverse audience for his anti-war and anti-tax messages. The Texas congressman’s campaign was fueled by a successful on-line grassroots fundraising operation. Throughout the campaign, Paul supporters called on others to join the “Ron Paul Revolution.”
Paul will offer this open endorsement to the four candidates because each has signed onto a policy statement that calls for “balancing budgets, bring troops home, personal liberties and investigating the Federal Reserve,” the Paul aide said.

Ron Paul should have been the Libertarian candidate.
You need to have a blog where people can comment on Palin and the mainstream political candidates that are being discussed at the moment. Please transfer this to Campbell Brown....Joe Johns supposedly just debunked the Palin claims by saying she actually did turn down funding for the bridge to nowhere once it became national news, but he failed to mention that she still took the money (from us, not from oil rich Alaska) and used it to fund other Alaska state expenditures. Couldn't it have been better used to rebuild infrastructure in the lower 48? What she did is like a student getting scholarship money to attend college and then using it to buy a car. If you publish the "no bias, no bull" headline, then tell the entire truth!
Oink, oink.
