Unrealistic. Ron Paul is too old. i expect him to retire soon. If you look at any video of his 1988 campaign when he was the Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, you can see that he’s slowed down a lot. He should retire, spend what time he has left with the wife and family.
If the movement can’t survive without him, maybe it ought not to.
BTW, i am a Ron Paul supporter.
Basically, I think that a lot of thse Ron Paul votes can be seen as a proxy vote for Rand Paul, should he win the Kentucky US Senate election (which, it's looking like he will).
Of course, at that point, the question becomes: If CPAC supporters had to choose between Sarah Palin versus Rand Paul, THEN which way do the votes break? They've BOTH endorsed EACHOTHER, lol!!!
Not really a big deal in the CC household; Mr. C_C loves Ron&Rand Paul and likes Sarah Palin a lot; Mrs. C_C loves Sarah Palin and likes Ron&Rand Paul a lot. So, we're both happy to see the GOP (hopefully) moving in our general direction.
