Paulbots are the scum of the earth. They’ll vote for Obama if their neo-nazi messiah Ron Paul doesn’t get the republican nomination.
Only if they’re driven to vote for Obama. I think the point of the article is that independents are otherwise unwilling to embrace the Republican party for a reason. We already know why they aren’t Obama supporters, since we aren’t either. There’s probably nothing that can be done about the “Ron or I’m Gone” people, but driving Paul supporters away makes no more sense than the all the mindless sniping that’s been going on between Perry/Cain/Bachmann/Gingrich/etc. If you can’t hold a political party together, then you’ve got no chance of being able to take back this country from the left, and the left will win by default.
