Re: Oh Boy....
Law,
the thing is that, from my observations, there are two wings to the GOP now. There are the Goldwater conservatives, who would probably side with Paul, and the Christian Right. The Christian Right is neither socially liberal nor economically conservative. They're also the largest voting block, certainly on the right. True very few would vote for Hillary but equally, very few would vote for Paul. In theory perhaps they could be persuaded to but Paul is honest enough not to compromise and dissemble to win their vote. (I don't like RP but I'll give him that much.) Ultimately if those people stay at home then the GOP loses.
(I'm sure he would do well in Texas, of course.)
