They really only have to worry about electing a guy who can win the 3-5 swing states that McCain and Romney couldn't.

You go with a social first guy like a Huckabee or Santorum, they are absolutely dead as well. Absolutely no question.
A guy like Paul is doing college speaking tours in traditional liberal schools, and getting rave reviews for the most part. He is connecting with the youth. His issue will be is he a bit too Libertarian for the full base to support.
