I suspect you're likely correct about Romney being the nominee. The fact the Obama was elected and has managed to stay in office despite his utter failure of a presidency illustrates the foolishness of the average voter along with their unwillingness to insist upon competent representation.
As far as Rand Paul abandoning his beliefs and principles in order to latch on to Romney's coattails.....since we heard that utterly asinine projection from you first are you planning to revisit this thread to admit you were wrong when your idiotic partisan prophecy is proven to be false?
Romney will run with another neocon that is little different from Obama. Government no longer represents it's citizens, it represents itself. We will not be offered any legitimate choices to reign in our out of control government and compel it's members to do the jobs they were elected to do by actually representing the will and best interests of their constituents.
Its more likely to see Gingrich on Romney's ticket than Paul ...
Why would you care? You seem awfully concerned about Mitt Romney's campaign for it to not be threat to Obama. You know why? Because you know it is. The better he does, against all odds....against a huge sector of his own party, the more the rhetoric gears up against him. There is a reason for that.
The bolded part of your post says it all. How do you think he can win when, as you yourself admit, a huge sector of his own party doesn't want him?
The evidence of a lack of enthusiasm for the assumed front-runner Romney is everywhere you look. GOP turnout is down significantly from 2008 in every state primary thus far. Romney got less votes this year in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada than he did in 2008, despite the fact that in 2008 he was up against some viable opponents. Three years of almost non-stop campaigning and his numbers are going down, not up. It seems the more people get to know him, the less they like him. I don't see how you spin that into a positive.
How in the hell do you people imagine an anti-fed politician on a big bankster ticket?
Both sides get what they want, Ron puts his son a track to actually be a player within the party and Romney broadens his base.
People need to face it, Ron Paul is not running to win...he is running to get his message heard and further that cause. Getting Rand a crack at VP would be a major coup.
You should worry....there are a great many of us that support an ideal and ideology and only champion an individual due to their support of our beliefs. Our numbers are growing, yours are dwindling. At some point in the not too distant future it's going to suck to be a liberal or neocon. You're either going to be blamed for having collapsed the nation or resisted by an expanding number of people that have finally awakened and will no longer enable your abuses.

Romney is running against nobody, people don't get excited about a blowout.
And Romney actually received 20,000 more votes in 2012 in NH vs 2008, 170,000 move votes in Florida vs 2008 and 100,000 move votes 2012 in SC vs 2008. He did basically the same in Iowa.
I also believe GOP turnout is up in NH and SC...might be wrong on that but per wiki
2012 NH primary-248,448
2008 NH primary-234,851
2012 SC primary- 603,856
2008 SC primary- 445,677
Romney actually received more votes than the 2008 winner John McCain in SC.
