shurrrrre. He's a RINO, man. He'll fold. You can trust in that. Bush the Elder was a paragon of GOP virtue compared to Romney...
That's a strong possibility. What were're essentially talking about here is the difference between a guy we KNOW will appoint liberal activist judges, and a guy who COULD do so. This paradigm is generally referred to as "the lesser of two evils." The idea is to avoid getting to that point in the first place. Because Dr. Paul is a liberatarian, not a conservative, we know that he won't be winning the nominiation, even if his solid following and organization gives him a strong showing in the Iowa CAUCUS. All he's doing there is hurting the other viable not-Romney candidates.
