No, he wouldn't and he won't.
A Palin / Paul ticket could pick up all 8 of those Upper Midwest states and the already Republican South.
I hope Governor Palin has more sense than that. I'm pretty sure she'd never choose a liberal like Ron Paul as a running mate.
She said Ron Paul was cool a few years back.
She might understand that some of the Ron Paul voters might be pretty tough for her to get otherwise.
She might understand that she might need those votes in the Big Ten states.
She probably understands that Ron Paul is a True Conservative, a Tea Party Conservative, a Limited Constitutional Government Conservative, who appeals to certain segments of the D’s and I’s.
A position that the states should decide their own marijuana laws is not liberal. It’s tea party conservative. Limited Constitutional Government.
Ron Paul’s foreign policy is very similar to Robert Taft’s.
