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.

Paul is
really starting to surprise me now. He's gaining supporters from both sides. I have a feeling, that if he really wanted to, he could bolt the Republican Party and make a very strong showing as an independent third party candidate.
Paul is a lot stronger with Republicans though, 'cause he knows how to talk to 'em. He's got a lot more explaining to do with Dems, know what I mean? He can get there, but the real question is whether the audience is patient enough to listen, and m take is probably "not", unless there's some specific reason they're dis-satisfied with Hillary.
Paul
could go after the Obama votes - in fact, that would be an extremely amazing turn of events, wouldn't it? A Paul-Obama ticket, in either order? Hmm...
