So much for the theory that Rand will be the benefactor of the Freedom movement dad is building.
Ron Paul made a deal with the devil, Rand will be the beneficiary. That "deal" was consummated many months ago. Anyone shifting their allegiance to Rand is making a huge mistake.
For your theory to hold true, Rand would have to be Romney's VP, or be given a power position in his potential cabinet. I seriously doubt that the Establishment Pubes want anything to do with RPs folks, most of whom won't be bothering to support Romney.
I think it's likely that that the Establishment Pukes will try to throw them some kind of bone. Unless they can rip 'Bama a major hemorrhage between now and November, they'll need the damn votes. But Rand Paul is not on anybody's short list and that list is depressing reading. It's like being orphaned for the holidays by your folks and you get to pick which drunk uncle you're gonna stay with. Come to think of it, I'd rather hang out with my drunk uncle that spend the summer with someone like Rob Portman.
The "bone" was long ago agreed upon. The Pauls are not naive enough to wait until after the fact to see what their pay off will be. It is signed, sealed and will be delivered. Too many people are forgetting , the Pauls are republican politicians.
I am not naive enough to think that voting for a Romney/Paul ticket will further the cause. It might set up Rand for a run for Pres in the future but it will have to be without my vote.
farm... Interesting point. It appears as if the pubs are melding into two blocs, Romney/Pauls, the other the Bush cabal. Bush tribe ran Santorum as a straw horse, nothing for Romney, Jeb is waiting in wings for the right time.
Doesn't look like that to me. More like two oldtime blocs -- Romney's and the Bush cabal's -- and a new party wing arising for the Ron Paul Revolution.
Perhaps... I consider that the Paul revolution is dead and buried, the mourners refuse to accept it.
Any person observing the machinations needs to put aside their own bias, or preference.

I cannot wait til the convention, to see all the wet kisses and smoochies that get passed around. Just regular ole love affair. They will go forth to save the world. I am sending Jethro to be our on the spot reporter.
That would be an experience a lot like a good tar and feathering: if it weren't for the honor and recognition it brings, most people would pass on going there.
I go way back to the days of listening to the conventions via radio. I thot then and still do now that it was all first class horseshit to fool the rubes. Good little doobie voters march lockstep to the polls to vote for their hero and against the tyrant on the other ticket. Dumb and dumber.
Yeah, it only gets interesting when some dumb son of a bitch picks a VP candidate who can see Russia from her front porch, does a Thomas Eagleton, or any sort of mistake that creates genuine and lasting entertainment. McGovern may of been behind the senator from Missouri 1000 % as he first claimed, but the momentum from that mis-step brought him far less of a voter percentage then that; to say the least. Oh well, Nixon's the one took a new meaning then it did in the 1968 campaign during the Watergate scandal. This was all good entertainment. I even got to watch the Watergate hearings during class instead of doing classwork. Those were the days.
