... and what "ultra conservatives" worth their salt, would vote for Romney? A Massachusetts moderate who probably won't touch abortion or marriage, and is known to be anti-gun (said he would sign an assault-weapon ban).

I'm sure the conservatives who are sucking their gut to vote the party line, would do so no matter who the nominee is.

True. My point was just that we can't know for sure that RP would have won if he was the nominee, just like we can't assume that people who vote for Johnson would have otherwise voted for Romney.


We can't assume it. But, we can make some guesses, seeing as Johnson wouldn't have run if Paul got the nomination, you have the GOP base, and the fact that Paul would be more popular with independants and democrats than Romney.

I honestly believe that if the GOP/MSM hadn't cheated Paul out of the nomination, we really could have seen something special in November.
