Any "deal" between Romney and Paul would certainly end with Ron Paul shivved in the alley.

Romney would promise him the veep slot just to shut up him through the primaries, but he'd stab him in the end and go with some other get-along like Christie.

For all his many many faults, Ron Paul seriously wants to shrink the federal government. Romney needs Paul on his team for four years like I need Hillary in my bedroom.

Exactly.

I could definitely see Romney pulling something like that (figuratively speaking, of course). He has no principles whatsoever and he's smart enough to have made his deals strictly by word of mouth.

Romney needs Paul on his team for four years like I need Hillary in my bedroom.

That's a scary thought!
