I dont think we are even disagreeing essentially but thats why I am telling Republicans to wake up because if they really want to be rid of Obama, Ron Paul is their only choice whether they can recognize that or not.
If he does not get the GOP nod, he likely goes 3rd party, Obama wins. If he does not go 3rd party his supporters are not his to give away like he is some horse trader. They will simply write his name in and Obama still wins.
I mean either way Obama is beating Romney in a head to head match-up but not nominating Paul just ensures the GOP loss 100%. Will Republicans not be dumb? Unlikely. And frankly if Ron Paul were to win the presidency, I would prefer it be as a 3rd party candidate, that would be more healthy for American democracy but I would rather take the sure thing and not gamble on the ideal situation if conservatives wise up.

Any other candidate that wins is going to lose to Obama, that's why the heavy hitters such as Palin and Huckabee have stayed out of the race.
