Since Ron Paul won the straw poll at CPAC, I wonder what some of you think of his chances in 2012? I think he's kinda goofy, but there's no question that he's a true conservative. He might be just what we need to get out of this mess.
But even if he could win the Republican nomination, I just can't figure out who he could get to run with him for a running mate. I'm not sure he could get along with any of the other well-known Republicans. He's pretty independent and set in his ways.
And then there's the matter of his age - I think he's in his mid-70's now. That doesn't bother me, but we saw what the Dems did with McCain and the age issue. So I'm sure they would make a big deal out of it with Ron Paul, too.
What do you guys think about him? Too old? Too goofy? Too independent? Too conservative? Or is he just right?
And if you like his chances, who would you like to see run with him?
