If Ron Paul picks Dennis Kucinich as VP than Democrats would cross over like crazy. That would be one hell of a ticket and one feared by the status quo supporters.

Which would only prove that Ron Paul has more in common with democratic than with the republican party. But to succeed in Texas, and especially east Texas, you better have "-R" following your name.
He has plenty of crossover appeal to the anti-war left and also the segment of the left that still actually cares about civil liberties. Those who are part of the corporatist left Ron doesn't appeal to them for the same reason he doesn't appeal to the corporatist/MIC wing of the right.
I doubt Kuchinich would even get a cabinet position. Although Kuchinich supports some of Paul's positions, he believes in more government solutions for problems, which is the opposite of what Paul stands for.
No appeal to me at all, and I am pretty centrist. The main reason is that axing a bunch of federal programs would be devastating for our economy. Also, he is way too old.
If you understand economics, then you know by axing a bunch of federal programs is good for the economy.
There is a negative correlation between the size of the federal government and the private sectors.
When federal government growth, private sectors shrink.
So, by shrinking the federal government will lead to the growth of private sectors. Meaning more productive jobs.

and if he picked Kucinich not a real Republican in a million would vote for him..
Too much debate over republic vs democrat. Seems ridiculous to most people but still the debate fiercely rages?
Anyways seeing as how Ron Paul mentioned in 2003 that there was a major housing bubble brewing and everyone laughed at him and called him crazy..
I am inclined to research and agree with a lot of what he is saying now. Obama did not bring change, PS George Bush outlined in the infamous shoe throwing speech that the troops would be out by Xmas 2011...
So..yeah Ron Paul does have crossover and when we realize that we are all people and that is what it comes down to, a very human appeal ... sure, why would he not ?
PS There are 300 Million people in the US. .. ~30% of the country votes. Ron Paul supporters are notoriously:
-unwavering
-loud
-adamant
-consistent
similar terms but basically it seems that Ron Paul' support has been steadily growing and those who support him do not flip flop on candidates, probably because Ron Paul notoriously is not a flip flopper himself..

but most importantly he is against corruption. Even someone like Bernie Sanders, a socialist, can fit with Paul in this situation.
