Reply #14: Paul has more Republicons who distrust him than Romney does

[customerserviceguy]

Paul attracts a fringe element that, absent him, wouldn't be voting Repuke, or possibly at all. There's no one else like him out there, on either side of the aisle, and he's the kind you either love or hate, you don't learn to love him. Yes, in caucus states where massive turnout by a highly motivated minority means something, Paul's going to grab some delegates. But he's never going to get above the 12-15 percent range in a primary where independents are not allowed to participate.

In fact, I'm seriously hoping that Paul controls about that percentage (or maybe greater) proportion of delegates by the time the Rethugs get to Tampa, with Mittens holding his 30 percent, Newt with 40-45, and perhaps even Perry or Bachmann hanging on to their 10-15 percent. I'd love to have either the Newt side or the Mitt side think that the other one 'stole' the nomination, you would have massive defections to third parties in the general election, and it offers the President a considerable edge in his fight to be re-elected.
