Can Ron Paul win the nomination?

Worst case for the party would be for Paul to come close and lose. All of the new members he brought in will drift elsewhere... to the Dems or to a 3rd party. The loss would deflate the GOP to a shadow of itself for a decade or more. (Parallels of Teddy Roosevelt.)

Who cares about the "Party"? I don't even think the elite at the top of the Republican Party care. Republicans and Democrats are the same thing anymore. Just one big socialist hog swallow. Regardless of whether one picks from door A, or door B, you get the same exact agenda.

Ron Paul is the exception.
