Paul is pro-life, but yeah I think all the libertarian leaning GOP voters will go someplace else, not to Obama that is for sure but probably to some 3rd party. And quite likely the social conservatives will also go 3rd party to since Romney is pro abort and pro homosexual. Maybe yall can hang on to fiscal conservatives, maybe. But constitutional conservatives are not going to like the gun grabbing Romney to much either. But I will give you this, yall got a lock on the country club votes. Good luck winning with that.

The paulbots who really understand libertarianism may vote for Gary Johnson, most will sit home smoking weed or vote Obama. Virtually every paulkook I knew in 2008 (youngish college students) ended up voting for Obama. Most of them will do it again. The vast majority of these people were NEVER Republicans. They were NEVER going to vote for the actual GOP nominee. They hate the "country club" wing, but hate the social conservative wing even more. Paulbots DETESTED Santorum. They can not stand evangelicals and social conservatives. Read Ron Paul forums and websites. These people have very little in common with conservatism and we will all be better off when they go try to take over the Democrat party instead of the GOP.

/yawn. The GOP platform is actually quite good this time around. It is a very socially and economically conservative policy blueprint. 90%+ of conservatives will be voting for Romney/Ryan. The Paulbots can just shut up and go away - they aren't part of the party and weren't going to vote for the eventual GOP nominee anyway.
