How do you figure that? I think I can answer it. Paul actually has signs up in Tennessee quite a few believe it or not. Fred didn't even bother. The only hint of Fred running in my neck of the woods that I saw was a few very small window stickers.

“If Fred gives his delegates to his good friend, John McCain, the traitor, then McCain will be the nominee, and Joe Lieberman will probably be VP.”
But that’s exactly why Fred NEEDS more delegates.
If the VP is not at stake (and it’s patently NOT with McCain because a McCain-Thompson ticket doesn’t work) then Fred might back McCain....but IF Fred has enough delegates to throw it either way, Mitt can can do what McCain can’t: buy his support with the VP slot.
The more delegates Fred wields, the more Romney HAS to put him on the ticket to keep him out of McCain’s camp.
(assuming of course neither McCain or Romney wins outright)

Your scenario assumes several premises:
1. Fred is not already in McCain’s camp,
2. Fred wants to be VP,
3. Fred deserves to be VP,
4. The Presidential candidate should BUY a VP, and
5. FRED is the kind of guy who can be bought by the highest bidder.

Fred Does NOT want to be VP.. any more than he wanted to be the "P". No fire in the belly. Jack Kemp only left leaning.
I do not want another "Left of Bush" VP type. Peggy Noonan today summed it up with this gem which sounds EXACTLY like something Reagan would have said if this was 1976 and GW was President and Ronnie was running for the first time.
George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues. . . . And this needs saying, because if you don't know what broke the elephant you can't put it together again. The party cannot re-find itself if it can't trace back the moment at which it became lost."
- Columnist Peggy Noonan
Fred can't be bought or he woulda endorsed Romney already.
He prevented Hucky from beating McCain in South Carolina and then dropped out.
Ergo... Fred was a poser for McCain all along and anyone who has issue with that, is simply a sucker who needs to learn how to NOT project their own values or beliefs on pretenders.
