8. So Paul rents a mailbox in Florida.

It didn't stop Bush and Cheney. But realistically, the neocons want nothing to do with Ron Paul.

2. Perry/Guliani - they have extensive ties

Perry will need a Northerner to soften his cowboy yahooism.

I hope I am wrong though and he picks some crazy-ass wingnut.

6. Paul won't run with Perry

You'd be matching up an isolationist with a neo-con, an anti-drug warrior with someone who wants drugs legalized.

11. you're right it would be like a Joe Lieberman/Dennis Kucinich ticket. It's not going to happen

Ron Paul will always have a loyal cult following within the Republican Party and the Republican Party will always grant him and his followers a little space where they can't rant and rave. But the war drum beating party of far right global American military dominance is not going grant genuine isolationists/anti-imperialists any real seat at the table...just a nice little side room where the kids can horse-play and pretend. Come to think of it - kind of like the Democratic Party attitude toward the left.

12. +1:

"just a nice little side room where the kids can horse-play and pretend. Come to think of it - kind of like the Democratic Party.."

Now go eat your peas, like good little children who should be seen but not heard.
