Anyone betting on this?

Interesting to note tho possibility...
http://www.intrade.com/v4/markets/contract/?contractId=669534 has 125-1 100-1
http://www.paddypower.com/bet/politics/other-politics/us-politics?ev_oc_grp_ids=481890 has 33-1

If you have a foreign bank account or dont live in the US, you could take a small gamble that may end up right.
I know I would drop $10 on this if I had the ability.

Why do you have to live abroad? Is Intrade illegal to utilize in the U.S.?

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 makes it unlawful for a company to have a wagering site based within the US. It also extended it's reach to the financial institutions, preventing them from processing payments using the online services (ie., credit cards).

You can still wire money or sent a check in.

Wow I was asleep when that happened. I remember the gaming sites being pushed off shore but had no idea people were banned from patronizing them. Thanks for the info.

Betfair.com is by far the best betting site because it’s the only site which works with demand-supply of the quote (just like the stockmarket). On Betfair Ron Paul is the longshot with 55 to 1.
So your dollar makes 55 dollars if Paul becomes the nominee. In percentage, its about 2% chance Paul wins the nomination.
So indeed very unlikely, but not impossible.
