Ron Paul to run for President in 2012

April 25, 2011 04:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time

LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Congressman Ron Paul will be in Des Moines, Iowa tomorrow, April 26th, to make an important announcement about his political organization.

It looks like Ron Paul will be having another go at becoming President. In the 1988 Presidential Election, he he ran as a Libertarian and received 0.47% of the popular vote. In the 2008 Republican Primaries, he garnered 1.6% of the delegate count despite his online jihadists infantile poll swarming tactics. In the 2012 Republican Primaries, I expect him to receive no more than 8% of the delegate count.


I hope that his followers will be nicer this time around, but I'm not holding my breath.
