Run Ron Run! 2012 here we come!!!
Ron Paul is an interesting politician, even within the Republican party. He has gained a lot of publicity, especially among younger voters, yet I believe that,as many have already voiced behind closed doors that if Mr.Paul is to run, his Party- needing public support very badly- will use him to get public support and then at the last minute drop him from a ticket. Mr Pauls' views are not liked too well within his Party. He is looked at as too much of a "rouge" if you will- with no identification to Palin. . Mr Paul respects traditional systems of government( one could call him an Eisenhower style Republican possibly ) and many from both parties and the public in general agree with his points(IRS reform, not so much privatization,more corporate regulation). Yet once again, many in his own Party will not outwardly say that. These are points his Party abandoned quite some time ago in the pursuit of money and electoral capital. If one was to wager - put your money on Mrs.Palin coming about again and branded as the "majority minority in the new Republican Party". Mr.Paul will be there, yet how much his Party wants to hear from him , we'll see.
