While being interviewed on CNN by Wolf Blitzer, Ron Paul was asked if he would consider endorsing Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr. Here is what Dr. Paul said:

“I think [Bob Barr] is running a very important race, and I’m encouraging him. I haven’t endorsed him, but he’s saying the kind of things I like to hear said, and I hope he does real well.”

But Paul was quick to add: “But we also have Chuck Baldwin, who runs on the Constitution Party. His views are very very close to mine, and he worked very hard in my campaign, so for me to pick one over the other is not easy. I hope they both, together, get a lot of votes.”

When asked if a good turnout for Barr and Baldwin would hurt John McCain, Paul said that many of his young supporters are torn between Ron Paul and Barack Obama.

Ron Paul also said that he will not vote for or endorse John McCain unless McCain changes his positions on foreign policy and the Federal Reserve. In response to a viewer question, Paul said he almost definitely would not be willing to serve as McCain’s VP, even in the unlikely event that he was chosen or nominated from the floor.
