Rand Paul: Would be 'an honor' to be Romney's VP

IMHO, its the ONLY way Romney can kick Obama's ass.

Perhaps.

However, I do not think this will happen, I don't think Rand will be asked. I don't think Romney nor his puppets want to be in a position where, for example, they want a war that the VP won't support.

I could be wrong though. How else can they garner much needed support from the Paul camp?

It would sway some Paul supporters, but I don't think it'd do much to energize typical conservative voters many of whom I think will stay home on election day. Rand isn't even high enough profile for most voters to have heard of before.

Romney would be better served selecting someone that can deliver a key state...like FL. See if anyone cares THAT guy can't be VP. JMO.

Bilderberg already told Romney who to pick. We'll see if it is Rand, but I doubt it. If it is, that will give me another reason not to vote for him.

He'd damn well better not accept V.P., not after all that talk about fulfilling his obligation to the people of Kentucky.

Well, at least we know the form of the 30 pieces of silver...

Well, I have revised my opinion of Rand Paul. Note this is my OPINION.

I think he has completely betrayed his libertarian supporters by giving one ounce of support to Romney. Accidental support of evil can be forgiven, and sometimes consideration can be given in a hostage situation. But supporting evil for political gains is just plain evil in my opinion. I don't see ideas about him being a "double agent" or a future "insider" worthwhile. The only insiders who achieve power are those who are (or become) tools of the machine.

Sorry, but I don't see you as anything more than another Dole or McCain worthless politician. I invite you to prove yourself with some new vigor, but I just don't expect it.

Ron has always been a libertarian; Rand is Tea Party.

Rand as a VP pick would only be to stop a political movement. If he's picked, TPTB are getting scared and need to hide him. Think about it, how many times do you really hear from the VP after an election.....?

That will never happen. Rand, even as politically reserved as he is, is much too big of a liability for Romney. The 'press' would eviscerate him -- it would make Palin's treatment look kind.

IMO If Romney goes with a U.S. senator it will be a so-called "moderate" from a swing state, like Ayotte or Rubio.
