Possibility 1: Ron Paul gets the nomination, Rand or other person is VP
Possibility 2: Ron Paul does not get the nomination. Gary Johnson goes LP. Polls show that GJ gets 10% from (R). Rand Paul is chosen as VP to neutralize Johnson

Rand won't be VP. We need him in the Senate.

Why, Rand Paul is more acceptable to a lot of conservatives than Ron Paul. He may choose to agree to VP position.
If Gary Johnson runs 3rd party, Obama wins

Republicans will plead Rand Paul to be the VP

Are you serious? Johnson won't garner more than 1% nationally.

#2 would mean Rand would not run in 2016. What good could Rand do as VP if Romney or Gingrich are President?

If Ron is not the nominee I will be voting 3rd party or staying home. The Republican candidates are not very far from Obama's policies and they seem very willing to let Obama have another 4 years.

Yep. My thought exactly.

It will be either.

If Dr. Paul is on the ticket, he cannot have his son as his VP. Really! No nepotism allowed. Illegal.

Are you saying that pissed off Ron Paul supporters won't vote 3rd party in protest?

I will write in Ron Paul in the slim possibility he doesn't get the nomination:) That's what I did when it was Mccain and Obama

Ron Paul 2012 or bust!

If Ron Paul does NOT get the nomination, Obama wins. It has nothing to do with Johnson. I don't think Johnson would do it if Ron got the nomination.

He comes across as far too hateful. I'm not sure that would be a winning ticket.

Agree.

Paul/Williams (Walter) -- helps with neocons a little
or
Mitt/Paul (Rand) - in just 8 short years, we get Rand as Prez

4-8 years of Ron Paul as President, then Napolitano 8years as President, then Rand Paul 8 years as President-- it may take that long get rid of the national debt and return to a constitutional republic.

Steppenwolf6
12-07-2011, 07:58 PM
I think VP for Napolitano would be perfect,he is known and liked.
There are many constitutionalists to put in the Supreme Court but he,Napolitano, will help the campaign image and would be a strong debater.

Anyway..what a hell is this thread talking about?
I refuse to believe Ron Paul would ever,EVER accept a VP position to legitimize a socialist republicrat like Gingrich or Romney.
It will NEVER happen.

Point of this thread is that if Ron Paul is not nominated, GOP will try to find a way to appease pissed off Ron Paul voters. Offering Rand Paul the V.P. spot would help to get RP voters in line.

More likely would be Paul/Napolitano. Napolitano is a great speaker and has some sway with insiders.

I got it and I think Ron and Rand are not dumb,they would legitimize them if they did and would never accept such a position under a Romney or a Gingrich.
At least I am absolutey positive about Ron..but i think Rand would not accept it either.

Pointless ,losing idea for the time being anyway:
We are triyng to win for now..and we are so close in Iowa.

Oh I would love 8 years of Ron. But I think his age will limit him to 1 term...he'd be in his 80's come time for a second.

Rand would never accept a VP position with Romney or Gingrich...there's no way he would. And yes, he definitely wants to run in 2016. Remember this time, before Ron even announced? They said one of them would run, and it turned out to be Ron. This is Ron's last chance. Starting in 2016 it's Rand...good news is Rand has another 8 elections before they call him too old :) (not that it would take more than the first one before he becomes president though)

PaulStandsTall

There is no way Ron would run with anyone that doesn't have the monetary reform as their priority. Let's face it, that is the most important issue. Without the Fed printing the fake money, we wouldn't be able to finance playing god around the globe.

Also I highly doubt Rand Paul would hop on a NeoCon ticket with the current jokes that support mandates, departments without Constitutional oversight (Romney, Gingrich).

Ron Paul 2012

LOL, you think Mitt would ask Rand to be his running mate?? And you think Rand would accept?? Very strange ideas. I wouldn't vote for Mitt even if Rand was on the ticket, and I doubt anyone else would either.

This. And probably more like the standard 0.4%. Johnson couldn't even raise money or attention as a major party candidate. He will be lucky to match the money and enthusiasm of Michael Badnarik.

And NO Republican nominee not named Paul is going to ask a Paul to be a running mate.

Point of this thread is that if Ron Paul is not nominated, GOP will try to find a way to appease pissed off Ron Paul voters. Offering Rand Paul the V.P. spot would help to get RP voters in line. Right. Makes sense. And unless the Republican nominee is one who is believed to lack experience, one would argue that Rand would be the better choice.

If there was a deadlocked convention, and Palin got in, I'd see Palin / Ron Paul. If Bachmann got the nomination, Ron Paul's experience might be reassuring. Romney is not seen as inexperienced, Gingrich is not seen as inexperienced, Santorum is not seen as inexperienced. Huntsman is not seen as inexperienced. Perry isn't seen as inexperienced (lacking mental abilities perhaps, but not inexperienced).

Thats reasonable conventional wisdom, certainly, but they might want to avoid losing Ron Paul votes. People who can read polls understand that Ron Paul, and presumably Rand as well, will be bringing in votes they wouldn't be getting otherwise.
