*Update* Amanda Moore, from the Baldwin campaign, has sent out an email claiming that Chuck Baldwin will be attendance at this announcement, and an official from the Barr campaign has confirmed that Congressman Barr has been invited, but is not sure that attendance will be possible. Rumor is that Nader and McKinney have also been included.
Campaign for Liberty just put the following press release on their blog-
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jesse Benton
September 5, 2008ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA – On the heels of his historic three-day rally in Minneapolis that drew over 12,000 attendees, Congressman Ron Paul will make a major announcement next week in Washington at the National Press Club.
More details will be announced Monday.
And for those who missed Dr. Paul’s appearance on The Colbert Report last night, we’re pleased to post the video. Ron shares with Stephen why he didn’t feel welcome at the RNC and what it would have cost him to play ball with the GOP leaders.
With invites to Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin, as well as rumored invites to Nader and McKinney for the announcement, my guess is that Dr. Paul, C4L and the various third parties will be combining their smaller sums of cash to purchase major airtime on major networks (much like Ross Perot did) to have their own televised debates, and guess who won’t be invited? Of course, they could choose to invite the two major party contenders to expose their flawed policy stances, but I would be surprised if either one would accept such an invitation.
If you think about it, it really makes sense. Instead of spending the “smaller” amounts of money they all have on their own — for little exposure; they can combine it and blow the whole wad on one of the biggest political surprises of all time. Sounds like a plan to me… what say you?
