I have to say. I would vote for Paul over Obama. I HATE to say.... But if Paul ran as the Vice to Romney.... I would vote for them since Paul would be on the ticket. Its messed up but that could be a viable strategy to get a lot of young vote, and lot of vote entirely.

Is it because of the hair? I bet it's because of the hair.

DamnYankees: for Romney, a chance to gain support from one of the most vibrant subgroups within the Republican Party.

I really can't see this working. Paulites are not going to run towards Romney when Paul drops out.

Bingo. For as much as they've drunk deep of the Paul derp, they still see Romney for what he essentially is, a sockpuppet of a man propped up by the GOP establishment and someone who contains no real thoughts of his own. Paul's endorsement of Romney when he drops out isn't going to change that.

I'll vote for whoever legalizes it. Oh and cuts taxes, social security and medicare because those all come out of my paycheck

Ron Paul saves all his venom and vitriol for his newsletters.

I hadn't thought about it, but Paul's a pretty viable option for VP on the ticket. Gingrich is out, given the shiat he's been spewing at Romney, Santorum could bring in the fundamentalists but will completely turn off the independents, Huntsman would mean too much Mormonosity on the ticket, Bachmann's pretty batshiat insane, Caine's toxic.

Paul can hold his own against Biden and brings another big name onto the ticket. If Romney already considers him a friend, that could seal it.

palelizard: Paul can hold his own against Biden and brings another big name onto the ticket.

All Biden has to do to win the debate is ask Ron Paul to explain his policy beliefs.

One silver Dime!

Waste...of...time and money.

So much for fiscal conservatism when you spend billions to go through the motions of an election.

If a friendship can keep Paul from running as a third-party candidate, Romney should be holding open the graham crackers while Paul toasts his marshmallow.

I can't see Romney picking any of the douche bags that ran in the GOP primary as his running mate. I'm thinking Chris Christie.

I do not understand this at all. Can you explain what Paul offers that is better than Obama? Maybe I'm biased but Paul's answers to a lot of things scare the crap out of me.

Romney and Paul never lay a hand on each other?

Because two men touching is the ghey.

Yup, The republican ticket this year is going to be Romney/Paul

I think you are probably right.

Paul's refusal to go after the frontrunner takes some wind out of the sails of his candidacy, doesn't it?

the lack of fire towards Romney makes sense if Ron Paul wants Rand Paul to be Romney's VP.

So the only real anti-establishment guy is in bed with the establishment? don't we call that "selling out"?

Paul can't run as VP, because you can't have a VP and a Pres nominee with wildly different policy positions. The VP must be willing to advocate the policy positions of the President, and never, ever contradict them. Paul can't do that and retain his support

Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate I would vote for. I wouldn't even vote for Mitt if he made Paul VP

Paul hates minorities and abortions.

Could be. I had forgotten about him. But what does Christie bring that Romney doesn't have already?

I never understood why limit yourself to the other running for president. One name that I can imagine high on Romneys list is Daniels, another might be Rubio. The idea of Paul being VP is interesting in its implications but I just dont see it. The rest of the pack are kriptonite. The VP will be a governor and probably from a swing state.

max_pooper: I'm thinking Chris Christie

And Chris Christie, as always, is thinking Arby's.

NotARocketScientist: Yup, The republican ticket this year is going to be Romney/Paul

Yes. The establishment choice is going to put an insane old man whom 80-90% of Republican voters despise on the ticket. That is the most likely play here.

AverageJoe77: Can you explain what Paul offers that is better than Obama?

Some people believe gridlock is good. Never mind that they're hypocrites when it's pointed out that gridlock would waste uncountable billions of dollars.

Maybe I'm biased but Paul's answers to a lot of things scare the crap out of me.

I'd avoid any political ideology where people are "concerned" about "getting back to the Constitution."

Paul will be Secretary of the Treasury.

/heh

Loud-mouthed assholishness.

No. Seriously. People love that shiat.

Wendy's Chili: And Chris Christie, as always, is thinking Arby's.

Just like that paragon of anorexia in the Democratic party : Michael Moore.

palelizard: But what does Christie bring that Romney doesn't have already?

'bout 150-200.

Hey you leave Governor Moore alone. He's going to be president some day!

I cannot ever really remember Paul going negative in his presidential campaigns. He may call out people on policy issues but he never seemed to muckrake. And I cannot see why Romney would go after Paul... Paul is not going to win the nom. Never. Why attack a non contender?

Nah, Paul as the VP is him selling out to the man. Also he's too vocal and a risk. The VP is supposed to be someone who rallies the broader base and is stable. There are portions of the Rep base that Paul can't rally and he would be a target in the VP debates over his newsletters and the like.

I think if Paul does well he gets the Hillary treatment, a cabinet post. I'd actually like to see Paul as the Sec of the Treasury or something just to watch the massive "Oh shiat" from Wall Street, followed by a mass exodus of private jets in the direction of the Caymans.

Saiga410: I cannot ever really remember Paul going negative in his presidential campaigns.

He'shiat Newt pretty hard.

keylock71: If Mitt taps Paul for VP , they could be "Rich & Crazy"...

Great name for a Country band. Or if John Rich used Neil Young's band.

Hahahaha

Awesome.

FeedTheCollapse: it would likely result in an even break between Paul's supporters voting Republican anyway, voting for someone else, or voting Obama;

I will probably primary for Paul but in the end I know I will be voting 3rd party.

Retards, it's in the article, Paul wants to be the last chairman of the fed.

Philip Francis Queeg: palelizard: But what does Christie bring that Romney doesn't have already?

'bout 150-200.

He really rounds out the ticket.

Ron Paul for Sec of Treasury. That's a win.
