This must be the fix for Romney. Paul will throw his delegates to Romney for making Rand VP.

So in Virginia where only Romney and Ron Paul are on the ballot, no matter who you vote for you are voting for Romney.

How sad.

The Democrats did something similar in 1924--putting William Jennings Bryan's brother on the ticket as the VP candidate. It wasn't enough to beat Calvin Coolidge--in fact their ticket got the lowest percentage of the popular vote of any Democratic ticket since Stephen Douglas in 1860.

If Ron Paul is the Republican nominee in 2012 (only slightly more likely than that the Cubs will win the 2012 World Series), he could pick Rand Paul as his running mate, since they are residents of different states...but people would never vote for two doctors on one ticket.
