I asked, specifically, if you'll be supporting the actual Republican nominee in the general election.

And I answered you. Read my response. I said yes. I will vote for whoever has the best chance to beat Obama... so YES, of it really matters to you. The Republican candidate will likely have the best chance. However, right now, all polling I can find (Rasmussen, PPP) shows that Paul would outperform Romney in the general election.

The truth is, he's been your candidate all through the primary and your still working to get him some extra delegates.

Half right. I did like the rest of us... supported Cain then Newt at the start. Then Paul. I actually like Paul now and I know he would be better than Obamney. Anyone supporting the Constitution is my candidate. If you support the Constitution, then conservatism WILL follow. And yes, the more Paul delegates the better.

LOL, sure. Paul is a fringe candidate, the more people know the less they would like him in an actual general election. Republicans are not going to vote for a guy who thinks Bradley Manning is a hero and a patriot, that it's cool if Iran gets nukes, etc. Democrats are not going to vote for someone who wants to dismantle the welfare state.

The Republican candidate will likely have the best chance.

Likely? Somehow I think if Paul decided to run as an independent you'd find a reason to vote for him even if he was going to get nothing but the typical 3rd party fraction of the vote.

Well, I think Ron Paul is a kook. I really like half his policy ideas and find the other half to be lunacy. However, if you are successful in miraculously getting him the GOP nomination, I WILL vote for Ron Paul over Obama.
