The Ryan Express
Article published in the Dallas Register
Yesterday, Representative and Libertarian Party candidate Ron Paul campaigned in Dallas with MLB and Rangers pitcher Nolan Ryan.
While it is unusual for a current athlete to make such a political statement, Ryan says he’s been a supporter of Paul for years.
“At a time when both the Democrats and Republicans seem dedicated to destroying liberty, it is refreshing to see a candidate like Ron Paul.”
Paul also praised Ryan saying “Mr Ryan is a fantastic pitcher and man, and I am proud that my district is in his hometown and that I have his endorsement.”
The endorsement is giving the Ron Paul campaign attention that many third party campaigns lack. The question now is wether or not Paul can improve on the Libertarian party’s 0.25% from 1984. With celebrity endorsements like this, he could very well exceed that.
