Romney is saying anyone but Obama. Liberals are saying anyone but a conservative. Obama ain't sayin shiiiiiiiiiiit. Ron Paul is saying they are all crooked, he is right.

Actually a Ron Paul/ Mitt Romney ticket would make sense to me - as long as Paul has the top spot. Ron already has the support of many progressives and Mitt would pull a lot of the wavering moderates from Obama. That ticket would have more effectiveness against Obama than any other combination of Repubs.

True, if your motive is to get rid of Obama. But that's not our motive. We want real change.
If there is a Paul/Romney, I am afraid we might see same thing happened to JFK in a JFK/LBJ.

Except that as far as principles go, it would not make sense.
The last time a VP candidate actually made a difference was in 1960 with JFK/LBJ (JFK needed Texas to win). Other than that, VP candidates mean little so long as they are not super polarizing.

Paul is a libertarian that has made a career of fighting against the right wing corporatism/fascism that is destroying freedom and liberty. Romney is the poster boy for the empty suit to the corporations. There is no way in hell Paul would want Romney anywhere near his cabinet.

If that was the ticket, RP wouldn't live to see 2013.

To be sure, now is not the time to compromise on principles.
However, there may come a time, under the right circumstances, to make a deal based on how the most important principles can actually be implemented to the greatest extent possible.
VP-slot my butt.
However, I could imagine, under certain circumstances, a deal by which a president Romney assures appointment of Ron Paul as Treasury Secretary, giving him an ironclad mandate to reform monetary and fiscal policy (from which many of the other major principles could come into place).
But we are not at that point yet.
For the moment, state-by-state, delegate-by-delegate process, duking it out on the streets, so to speak, until the convention. So far, Ron Paul, in his own words, is doing even better than expected.
He is our best hope for sane monetary and fiscal policy, and everything that they imply, on US soil.
Good Luck!
