Ron Paul - Political Animal
I just want to speculate a bit.
Imagine Ron Paul hangs around deep into the primary season. Huckabee, Thompson and Guiliani are gone and it’s just Romney, Mccain and Paul left. Ron gets invited to all the debates and he’s pulling in @20% in the primaries in a much less split field.
Now say he’s still got money and he’s hinting at an independent or LP run.
In this scenario, the GOP loses the election and Clinton/Obama is the new president. Would the GOP offer Dr. Paul some ripe committee appointment to keep him on the sidelines or maybe even the Vice Presidency? Some Veep candidates have gotten that nod simply because they were from Texas.
If I was Ron I would hang around and accept some political windfalls. He can use his Dr. No power more effectively if he moved a bit higher up in the ranks instead of just being that guy who votes no on everything.
