(Yes I know Rand hasn't won yet but let's assume he does since he most likely will win)
I commented over in Rand's forum about this and it got me wondering enough about Ron's 2012 chances to start a new thread.
There seems to be a good chunk of Republicans that are commenting on and supporting Rand yet still look at Ron like he's a leper. Here's an example comment about Rand from a Hotair article about Rand's 15 point lead and it's not the only one like it.
We know father and son are not very different idealogically and Rand has had to step lightly since he's campaigning for GOP voters. But at the end of the day they are nearly the same in Constitutional philosophy. So where is the disconnect that creates comments like that one and how can we use Rand's victory to Ron's advantage to get people like that to see how supporting one is really supporting the other? Or is it a lost cause? Did the 2008 media smear job on Ron poison the well for him regardless of what he says or does? Thoughts please.

Good – I really like him. Think his Dad has a few screws loose but I like him.
