Paul's only shot is actually based on the current system. He can only win if Republicans are heavily divided on the other candidates. If McCain, Giuliani, Romney, and Thompson each get less than 20% of the vote, Paul could squeak by with just over 20. This of course would anger a lot of Republicans and Paul would be punished in the general election.

But, that is the exact reasoning I used to suggest that Paul could win if the system were changed. He gives the anti-war people a non-liberal choice. It's possible that he would steal votes from both sides. I agree that Obama might benefit, but not so much McCain.
