re: #83 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

At the same time, as we’ve seen with FreeRepublic, Paul doesn’t even really enjoy popular appeal amongst the entirety of the Tea Party. So it truly would be the most horrific of sights to behold.

The worst of all possible outcomes for the GOP — an independent Luap Nor / Caribou Barbie ticket.

The freepers might hate Ron Paul, but they hated McCain and voted for him anyway because of Sarah. Remove both of them from the GOP and set them up as independents and it would cause serious issues for the party.

I don’t see this happening, but still. The base is so completely desperate to avoid Romney at all costs that anything is possible.
