I bet a Ron Paul / Sarah Palin ticket would kill the opposition. I have this undeniable quality of being an average American, and I say the polls would crash for Obama if this was the other choice.

Couple of things....
1) Santorum hates Romney.
2) Ron Paul has nothing in common with any of the Republicans.
3) If we want to be serious about getting Paul the nomination, we need to compromise a bit. I'm sorry but Ron Paul announcing Napolitano, or Walter Williams as his VP isn't going to get the social conservatives to switch from Romney to Paul.
Santorum is horrible, I know this, but I'm looking at what is the most important right now, Obama/Biden vs Romney/Ryan or Obama/Biden vs Paul/Santorum. Which one would you choose?

I'd choose to fight it out on the floor at RNC where Ron isn't tainted by the result, but has it presented to him by the delegates.Originally Posted by Michael Landon

the Santorum people got cheated by Romney too - while Santorum has nothing in common policy-wise, politics-wise there are significant mutual interests in not allowing Communists like Romney to control the GOP.

Are you trying to turn Ron Paul into Alexander Haig?

I would too, but going into the convention with a 5% chance of coming out with the nomination by doing it that way versus working a deal with Santorum and almost guaranteeing the nomination is better in my opinion.

um. maybe.
but isn't it really the delegates, not Santorum who are the question? And would one of their leaders be better to discuss it with and maybe get a better choice?
I think this is all pretty unlikely, but if we are playing with the thought, and why shouldn't we, it seems to me these aren't so much Santorum's followers as the moral majority folks already in the system, and they just took whichever 'religiously approved' candidate was surging. I guess the question is who would those of them who are delegates follow?

would hurt Paul since he already said that Sweater vest is a fake... the would reflect badly... but Paul could make a statement that would get some awareness... Paul could state that he is "considering Romney on his short list of running mates" ... but doubt Paul will do any of this since its against the Party rules for a candidate to choose a running mate before coming the actual nominee
hellz no. absolutely not. not only do they have nothing in common, not only would you be putting a warmongering wingnut second in line, but you'd absolutely destroy the most important thing Ron Paul brings to the table - his ability to draw independents. Santorum is... NO. Just no.
"Ron Paul, not going anywhere. Ideologically pure and tough as nails!"
ABO + NOBP = Ron Paul
Romney - NOBP = Obama
