Overview of a news conference held by Ron Paul with third party candidates Ralph Nader and others. Ron Paul officially announced he will not endorse fellow Republican John McCain but instead is supporting all third party candidates.

Though overlooked throughout the campaign for the GOP nomination, Ron Paul had a major internet and grassroots following. Paul is still attempting to influence the election despite his withdrawal from the race. His latest action has been to endorse all of the major 3rd-party candidates (Independent, Libertarian, Green, Constitution) and urge voters to reject Obama and McCain as well as the two-party system that currently rules American politics.
