Could Ron Paul beat Obama?

Ron Paul beat Obama?

Not in this lifetime.

If anyone comes up with a good idea let me know, I sure don’t see much we can do about it now.

Remember his poll number stayed around 50%, meaning 50% of republicans are so friggin stupid they voted for the RepubliDem.

Could Ron Paul beat Obama?

That's all we need. An anti-Semitic nutbar.

Those guys are running independently anyway. Paul inserted himself in the Republican primary schedule just to get his message across.

So, can Paul beat Obama? He couldn't beat Romney either.

Looking to the future the RNC has to limit candidates to those who are not candidates in other parties, those who've never made donations to candidates of other parties, those who've never served in public office having been elected as a member of another party, or who have not accepted an appointed position by another party.

By my evaluation of the whole line up of Republican candidates this year there are 3 of them who would have been eligible to run under those simple rules.

They would have been Caine, Santorum and Gingrich.

I"d think we'd made our selection by now ~ you'll note also they're all three Conservative.

So, what to do now? I think we can take a page from the Mittbot handbook ~ it's called Change The Rules At The Last Minute.

That's just a broad proposal ~ no doubt there are folks out there with practical ideas regarding how we might do that ~ and that presumes we have any inroads with any of the party officials running the convention.
