Personally, I think Ron Paul would beat Obama if Ron Paul were the Republican nominee. Sadly, outside of the states where the GOP has a libertarian streak (NH, ME, NV, SD...) Ron Paul likely won't/cannot do well and because of that, he won't win the GOP nomination.

 

There is no way Paul can sway people whose opinions are liberal or moderate fiscally. He's extremely fiscally conservative.

The former chair of the Belknap County New Hampshire Democratic Party and the current head of New Hampshire Peace Action switched just to vote for Ron Paul.  The both said that less wars was there number one issue and that he is best on the issue.

"I would definitely call myself a progressive," said Will Hopkins of Belmont, who returned from a tour as infantryman in Iraq to become executive director of New Hampshire Peace Action, a group seeking to end foreign wars and cut defense budgets. "I supported Obama in 2008, but I'm supporting Ron Paul. That's where I'm putting my eggs this year," he said. "A lot of folks in the peace movement are taking a close look at Paul."
