You can't argue with crazy, and Ron Paul and his following are as crazy as they come. If he decides to run thirparty he is going to run third-party. No amount of reason is going to change his mind.
Have you dealt with any of the Paul bots on the web?Allahpundit at HotAir seems undecided of what a third-party spit would do to the GOP in the election against Obama, but I know what would happen.
It would be a disaster.
Has anyone seen a poll of what tea partiers would do in a hypothetical three-way race between Obama, Romney, and Ron Paul? Some segment of the TP surely would split and follow Paul into independence as a protest against Mitt, but I don’t know that that’s where most of Paul’s support would come from. Rand likes to push the tea-party connection because that’s his brand and because it keeps voters’ attention turned towards Ron’s record on spending, but as noted last week, Paul’s not the top choice in the field among tea partiers. WaPo’s national poll before Christmas had him in fifth place in that demographic, in fact. He did better than that in PPP’s new Iowa poll, but not dramatically better:I like what Mark Levin has to say...
