It looks like the former Presidential candidate has a big announcement planned for Wednesday:
Ron Paul to Hold Major
Press Conference WednesdayFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jesse Benton
September 8, 2008ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA – Congressman Ron Paul will hold a press conference in the Ball Room at the National Press Club on Wednesday, September 10th at 10:00 am. Dr. Paul will announce his intentions for the fall presidential election and will be accompanied by several special guests.
This event comes on the heels of Dr. Paul’s historic three-day Rally for the Republic in Minneapolis, Minnesota that drew over 12,000 supporters.
So what is it ? An endorsement of Bob Barr ? Chuck Baldwin ?
Reason’s David Weigel says that it’s not quite something that dramatic:
I’m reliably informed that Paul has invited the top four third-party candidates—Baldwin, Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney, and Ralph Nader—for a joint appearance. The “major announcement” will be that he encourages voters to look beyond McPalin and [Obama]. At this minute Baldwin is the only one on deck.
Not really a ground-breaking announcement, and unlikely to have any real impact.
