Mitt will lose the election all by himself without needing any help from Ron Paul. Why do you think he lost the Senate in 1994 to Kennedy by 17 points the same year Newt swept Republicans into Congress nationwide? Romney had nothing to run on but being a “job creator” but Kennedy savaged him with TV ads that showed Mitt was lucky if he created as many jobs as he destroyed as he raided distressed companies at Bain Capital. Kennedy never even got to use all the ads because he destroyed Mitt’s poll numbers quicker than he even thought he could. Also keep in mind, Massachusetts ranked 47th in job creation during Mitt’s tenure as governor. I’m still trying to figure out WHAT credentials and experience Romney has that anyone thinks will sell in the general election and help him be a good president? I haven’t heard one thing.

Mitt Romney’s Job-Creation Record
When he was governor, Massachusetts ranked 47th.
During his tenure as governor from 2003 to 2007, Massachusetts ranked 47th among states for job creation. He’s running on his ability to turn around the flailing economy and boost employment, so this is a statistic that appeals enormously to his opponents.

You make a good point about mittens being able to lose the race all by himself. With Ron Paul as a 3rd party candidate, who knows? Mittens might even finish 3rd. As for mittens and his credentials, I’d be about the last person to ask about that, to the extent any qualifications exist. I guess he meets the Constitutional requirements. That’s about all I can see.
