Among the three candidates, only Newt Gingrich deserves consideration from Paul supporters.
The idea is to drastically reduce the scope ang power of the Federal Gov’t and return state issues to the states.
Newt is also on board with Paul on several economic issues.
Newt isn’t Libertarian, but there’s same track agreement between some Republicans and some Libertarians. That is self evident, since Paul the Libertarian has run and served as a REPUBLICAN.
Romney is way out of that sphere, as is Santorum and his nattering on about moral and religious matters in terms of Government.
Santorum’s comments about Zimmerman were awful, and certainly not remotely conservative or libertarian.
Paul himself is rumored to be seeking a deal with Romney if his delegates can be used as bargaining chips.
But his followers would mostly NOT be on board with that.
I think we can almost bet that Romney already did cut a deal with Paul. It happened around the last debate.
Romney may ask Paul to be the Sec. of the Treasury, which would not be such a bad thing. Which of course, would include that Paul hand his delegates over to Romney.
And it all hinges on, if this rumor will be true in the first place. Paul knows this is his last run for the Presidency, so he could care less if he ticks off a bunch of wet nosed College age Liberals who voted Populist this election.
Giving the Paul delegates to Newt will not happen. Paul has been partnering with Romney for at least six months.
Fixed it. No charge. :-)
