Paul should pick his VP now

Meg just seemed like a go along establishment Republican to me in the gubanatorial race. What about her is good?

She was a great CEO at E-Bay and made it very successfully in a highly male dominated nerd culture. She commanded respect without any of tools that many use to claim authority. For example she used a regular cubicle along with everyone else.

I'm still in shock that Gerry Brown won. She would have been so much better for California and now, the country.

Sarah Palin If nothing else, it will get media attention, and I am growing weary of the all boy's club. She has not endorsed Romney and I think she would do it! I can only imagine the crowds they would draw!

Get over it.. Sarah Palin is a joke. Admittely i used to like her back in 2008 but her true colors have come out and she's just milking any attention she is getting.

Sorry if i offended any Palin fans or if I broke some internet treaty but that's the truth that i feel.

None of that speaks to any policy that would be different from the status quo now.

As horrible as this sounds, if Ron Paul really wants to take over the convention and win the nomination then I think his campaign needs to talk to the Santorum campaign and agree to a Paul/Santorum ticket. Most of the constitutional and social conservatives would switch from being loyal to Romney and cast their votes for Paul, thus causing a brokered convention.

Choosing Palin could also do this but I'm fairly confident that Santorum would be the best bet to help Paul win the nomination.

Santorum and Ron Paul have absolutely nothing in common.

I don't know. I think at this point the only actual 'Santorum backers' are really moral majority, not specifically Santorum and they had him in low single digits until the fake Santorum surge by CNN in Iowa made the religious vote go to Santorum. I dont think they are utterly sold on him. Palin, Bachmann someone like that might fire them up equally as much. Of the two, I like Palin because she is independent, more, and I think she doesn't really have a set foreign policy she is sold on, to be honest. Neither are my candidates. But Bachmann voted for NDAA and to extend the Patriot Act etc etc.

However, I find it hard to get BEHIND any of them and wouldn't want Ron to pick them and take on their policies. I'd rather the VP was picked from the floor where compromises wouldn't taint Ron.

Judge Nap.

We need a successful business person to match Ron.

How about Meg Whitman:

She happens to be a BILLIONAIRE:

Edit: And about 100X smarter than Palin.

I was thinking of Andrew Napolitano

LMAO.. This ain't fantasy football guys

And it shouldn't. It would make Ron Paul appear out of touch with reality and a caricature.

You would probably be right if he would make a formal announcement as to his pick for VP, but he could mention his own choices when critiquing Romney's VP pick. Let the people know, what could be.

I think the issue is something to appeal to the other delegates there in a floor fight if it comes to that, and someone Ron could pick without offending us likely wouldn't attract those delegates. So my thought was more, who could we bear, as second, that they might like....

It isn't likely to be a problem we need to deal with, but if it were, we would need to buy leverage with it imho.

In other words, let's play politics and use people to further our agenda

or.... he could not make an embarrassing gesture, like picking a VP when he has 0 chance of getting the nomination....

O chance? I refuse to believe that.

Don't denigrate Ron's chances of winning in his own campaign forum

any more than you would denigrate Massie's or anyone else's in their forum.

Most people who do that are really trying to get people to take on THEIR projects or candidates, but that is not your decision, how other people than you spend their time.

In February 2009, Whitman announced her candidacy for Governor of California, becoming the third woman in a twenty year period to run for the office. She won the Republican primary in June 2010. The fourth wealthiest woman in the state of California with a net worth of $1.3 billion in 2010, she spent more of her own money on the race than any other political candidate spent on a single election in American history, spending $144 million total of her own fortune and $178.5 million including donors. Whitman lost to Jerry Brown in the November 2 election.

With Ron and Meg Whitman, we could carry California.

Why? Would she be purchasing the state? Does she even have liberty credentials? Methinks not.

Whitman was a supporter of former Bain Capital founder and Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's presidential campaign[50] in 2008 and was on his National Finance Team.[51] She was also listed as Finance co-chair of Romney's exploratory committee.[52] However, after Romney stepped out of the race and endorsed McCain, Whitman joined McCain's presidential campaign as a national co-chair.

And compete with the story the criminals and their minions are currently putting out?


Then again maybe I'm the only one that considers the counterfeiting that is going on, to fuel what has been going down, a crime against humanity.

[jointhefightforfreedom]

To show that he is still in the race.

Absolutely !!!

Would spark a Ton of media press right before the convention!!

and Tell the world you have another choice!

 

[rockandrollsouls]

I'd take it. The powers to be may not let it last long, but Ron in office for even a short time would allow him to veto a number of bills.

It would be a brilliant move by the campaign if they tried this. I doubt they will, but it could be a major game changer.


If Ron is at the top of the ticket, I'm fine.

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.
