I was speaking of the general election. I thought that was obvious but... sorry, I forgot where I was LOL - I will try to speak slowly.
Whatever Republican wins the GOP nomination, with the exception of Ron Paul will lose to Obama. Period. The GOP needs the independents in the general election plain and simple and Independents are for Ron Paul by a wide margin. If you really want to get rid of Obama, Ron Paul is your only choice.
For that matter if he does not get the republican nomination Paul might go third party. Result? Obama wins. If Ron Paul does NOT go third party, enough of his supporters will just write him in anyway. Result. Obama still wins. Romney loses to Obama in a head to head matchup by like 6 points so he already has no chance but the Paul supporters will make it a landslide for Obama if they just write him in even if he is not in the race which is what will happen. Bet on it.
Simply put, Ron Paul has the GOP by the balls. He is either the nominee or you guys have 4 more years of Obama.
Choke on it-

I don't disagree that Paul would be the best candidate in the next general election, but we live in the real world were he won't make it past the primaries.
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.
