Over the weekend, the Libertarian National Committee passed a resolution inviting Ron Paul to seek their nomination. But a Paul spokesman, while not making a Sherman statement, backed away from the invitation.
"Ron has no intention to run third party whatsoever," said Paul spokesman Jesse Benton.
The Libertarian resolution reads:
“In the event that Republican primary voters select a candidate other than Congressman Paul in February of 2008, the Libertarian National Committee invites Congressman Paul to seek the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party, to be decided in Denver, Colorado, during the Memorial Day weekend of 2008.”
Paul, a sitting Republican congressman, was the Libertarian nominee in 1988. Paul himself has not directly and absolutely ruled out a run. Last month, he avoided the question at an Iowa City rally.
