I dont think he is a registered Republican but Jesse Ventura has expressed interest in running with Dr. Paul, whether Republican or not he certainly fits the bill ideologically and brings a degree of star power to the ticket. And yes, I think Ron Paul could and would beat Obama. He gets serious support from Independents who lets face it, are the ones who decide elections in this country. Moreover he would siphon off votes from disaffected Democrats disappointed in Obama. No fucking way Indies and Dems will vote for Newt or Mitt. Not a chance. As for him governing, thats what the bully pulpit is for. When people can actually hear Ron Paul speak unfiltered by the media he is very convincing. All he has to do is get the people to demand cooperation from their representatives. moreover, even without help there is many things he can do via executive orders and through US code.
