“Getting his son on the ticket this year as VP or set up for a run of his own in 2016.”

I posted the following on another thread a few minutes ago and have been posting this as a possibility for quite a while but after last nights debate and todays statements by Rand Paul I do believe it may be a done deal.

You’ve got it. I believe they have a deal. Paul and his PAC has attacked any candidate that appears to challenge Romney. What would be in the deal for Romney? Ron Paul would not only make the attacks on Romney, but would agree to not only not run as a third party but to endorse Romney. What’s in it for Paul? Romney puts Rand Paul on the ticket as VEEP. RP sees his son carrying on his legacy. RP lied about “breaking news” to get on the Hannity radio show to read a letter he had written denigrating Newt. Rand Paul would meet the geographic critera for a veep selection as being from Ky. which is far enough South and as being perceived to have Conservative and Tea Party support.

I just read this morning on Fox Nation where Rand Paul says he would be receptive to an offer to be Romney’s VEEP. I believe this may be a new emergency strategy to pull some Ron Paul support from Ron to the faltering Romney and possibly some Tea Party and Conservative from Santorum after his poor performance in last nights debate.

I think this is a possible scenario and is likely being carried out. I think they all three are slimey and unprincipled enough to do this.

Great minds and all that...:)

What you wrote is pretty much exactly what I think. Resent events cement the scenario in mind, because as you wrote: “I think they all three are slimey and unprincipled enough to do this.” BINGO!

Great idea. That means a Romney/Paul ticket flips the bird to the conservative movement and they pull in the 25% of moderate "Independent" squishes plus the 10% of insane lunatics (read: "former Obama voters and bong-smoking college boys") that are Paul's base. That gives him 35%. #Winning.

If this is what really happens, then it is obvious that the flag has been captured and both parties have been corrupted by the Communist left. They want to lose and it's all over but the really nasty death rattle.
