Ron Paul urges voters to skip McCain, Obama
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican Rep. Ron Paul of Texas called on supporters to back a third-party candidate for president Wednesday, rejecting his party's nominee and offering equally harsh words for the Democratic candidate.
Rep. Ron Paul, a former GOP presidential hopeful, says he is endorsing third-party candidates for president.
Paul, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination this year, told supporters at the National Press Club in Washington that he is not endorsing GOP nominee Sen. John McCain or Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama, according to a senior Paul aide.
Instead, Paul will give his seal of approval to four candidates: Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney, Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr, independent candidate Ralph Nader and Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin.
Paul told the crowd that he received a call from the McCain campaign Tuesday asking for his endorsement. Paul's response: "I don't like the idea of getting 2 to 3 million people
angry at me."

I guess it's better than backing fellow Republican John McCain.
