Ron Paul for VICE-President?

Yes, Ron Paul would fit in this guys administration....

[Archytekt]

he’s definitely #2 material...

[Izzy Dunne]

a straight-up deal: the VP slot in exchange for Paul’s dropping out of the race and immediate endorsement

But isn't getting that endorsement like a swimmer getting a cinder block?

I believe a Texan will be selected as the veep.

But it won’t be Paul.

[AlaskaErik]

Paul is a fringe candidate who will never be considered by the eventual nominee. The idea is to balance out the ticket and be low profile. Ron Paul does neither.

I think the author makes a good case...it likely wouldn't hurt any Republican in a match up against Hillary...and it could add a few crucial votes in tight races

It’s easy for me to imagine people who wouldn’t otherwise vote for a Fred Thompson or Mike Huckabee suddenly deciding to do so because Ron Paul is on the ticket. It is, conversely, very difficult for me to imagine people who would otherwise support a Thompson or Huckabee choosing NOT to support the candidate because Ron Paul’s around. Yes, many Republicans dislike Ron Paul intensely, but I don’t know that any of them dislike him more intensely than they dislike Hillary Clinton

The swimmer would have a better chance

[big'ol_freeper]

There is a reason that it has not been considered. They might as well ask Kook-sin-ich as much as Ron Paul. Both are mentally unstable kooks.

People keep trying to push the certain loser to any democrat as POTUSA or VPOTUSA.
These include Rudy, Romney, McCain and Paul!

[ejonesie22]

Indeed...

Don’t forget to wipe....

[West Coast Conservative]

A Sheehan/Paul ticket sounds good.

Have you seen the new ad they are floating? It is about to run in newspapers in communities with large Muslim-American populations and as their primary target audience.

I can think of a better title for this thread than the current one. Just thinking though

[Neu Pragmatist]

Wow, I just cringed because I think you mean a Rudy / Perry Trans-Texas Corrider ticket ....

[reagan_fanatic]

Ron Paul Is Number Two!

[Theresawithanh]

Um....no. I’m not going to make any statements regarding Ross Per-, er, I mean Ron Paul, other than stating that I don’t think he himself would go for a VP slot under any circumstances.
