I heard he's on the ballot in one state, and that may cost McCain that state. I don't remember which state. Northwest, i believe, a heavily GOP state

Montana. He was polling around 4% there ... not sure if that will hold today, but, it's pushed Montana to toss up in many projections.

he's also on the ballot in Louisiana.

why is that? Did he want to be on the ballot in more states?

Paul wasn't behind it, his supporters were ... first in the google search, I found this.

interesting. if this race were closer, paul's supporters may have played the Nader spoiler role. (For the record, i believe Al Gore cost Al Gore the 2000 election, not Ralph Nader)

Louisiana I believe. Should be interesting to see how he does.

Their ideology:

"Even if Paul can't win, the creation of the Louisiana Taxpayers Party will be a force to help shape future elections, he said.

"Right now it happens to be Ron Paul, but in the future it might be another candidate and we will have a structure in place," Sanders said. "This is not about party. This is about supporting the (U.S.) Constitution and the republic -- it's leave your party at the door."
