Whoever is running for POTUS in 2012 should just go to Ron Paul and offer him Sec. of Treasury.
Yup - but what I’d like to see happen is Ron Paul to run, but this time drop out exactly when he should (that is, if he doesn’t win) - which would be exactly when he gets the treasury offer which is right around the time that the likelihood of him winning falls beneath a certain point. Prior to that, he would have identified a candidate or candidates that he could work with, who are ideologically similar. That candidate, his partner candidate, might refrain from attacking each other too nastily, and do any number of other things which would increase the likelihood of Ron Paul either becoming Sec Treasury or President. Personally, I’d like that other person to be Palin. Paul could attack a RINO like Romney in the debates, and be nice to Palin, perhaps. Tear at the foundation of Romney’s arguments, etc etc. Palin can refrain from attacking Paul too much.
I got the impression that McCain and Thompson had some sort of deal back in 2008. McCain would be saying something during a debate and the camera would cut away to Thompson nodding his head favorably to what McCain was saying. Sarah Palin could definitely benefit by having Ron Paul sending his people her way, especially because they are seeking votes from many of the same type of people. There’s a good chance that it wouldn’t happen at all that way though.
