I suspect RP would do less well in 2012 than this year, as the Republicans seem to be moving even more in the southern/rural/Christianist direction.
I think that if RP wanted to run on the Libertarian ticket, he would find a reasonable receptive audience among LP activists.

Which of these is Ron Paul not?

He doesn’t, but he probably would, since they are moving in all those same directions.

Tell me when the rally begins to get the left-wing illuminati out of office. When they raise taxes and change the constitution, it will happen.
