If Ron Paul doesn't accept the position as VP for the Party of Liberty (Libertarians) It shows that he is all about himself and not for Liberty. He has cast his support behind 4 candidates and told people not to vote. This trows the vote to the 5 winds and lets it blow away. I can't think of a better way to support McCain then scattering his vote!Full Digg post: http://digg.com/politics/Ron_Paul_s_revo_lution_A_Manifesto_Of_Book_Sales
