Americans Elect ballot acces and Ron Paul

[Fritz]

Ron Paul has not declared that he wants AE's nomination.  Before the final online convention vote, he would have to do so, as well as choose a running mate who is not a Republican.  So yes, he does have a say in it.  AE is not going to put an unwilling candidate on the ballot.

That being said, this nomination appears to be Ron Paul's, if he will take it.  Otherwise, it will go to Buddy Roemer, who is in fact actively seeking it.

The convention is in June.

The website is currently proclaiming: "47 days left until Caucus Round 1"- which I guess puts that at May 7.

Doesn't AE state that if they nominate, say, a Republican, that said Republican would have to pick a Democrat as his/her VP?

But if Johnson is a Libertarian, then he can pick a Republican as his running mate. Johnson/Roemer 2012?

I don't think so.  Johnson will be considered to be a Republican by AE's rules, in that he was at one time a candidate for the 2012 Republican nomination.  He cannot choose a Republican as his running mate.
