Paul is unelectable unfortunately. The extreme right-wing evangelical christian component has somehow become the base of the conservative movement. It sounds their death knell, in my opinion, since the majority of moderate swing voters like me won't vote for an extreme right-wing nominee. Looks like 4 more years of Obama if that happens....and it certainly appears that it will with the rise of Perry and Bachmann as frontrunners. Unbelievable really....especially since the pubs have a golden opportunity to take back the white house. I'm betting they won't if either of the aforementioned candidates happens to gain the republican nomination.
