I see my mistake there. I meant "anti-gun control activists". I wasn't paying attention when I was typing.
Even though there's obviously a difference between an anti-war activist and an anti-gun control activist, I fail to see how this makes you less wrong. When has the government used drones to kill anti-gun control activists?
Well that explains that then, but would the ticket have been any good?
Can you cite the source for this before you get banned? If it really happened, I'd like to know and I won't be able to ask you for a link if you keep on. Not being snarky, I'd just like a citation.
Rubio would certainly nail down the state of Florida, but I doubt he'd do much in other Hispanic states. As a Cuban the Obama campaign can easily say he can't claim to understand the struggles of Mexican Americans. Rubio could campaign against that, but then the Paul campaign would be on the defensive.
The only people who would try to assassinate Ron Paul would be the crazed Islamophobes, who think he wants to destroy the US military to allow the "Caliphate of Evil" to take control of America. Since they have been unsuccessful at assassinating the "Kenyan Muslim" in the White House, I doubt that they would be successful at killing Paul.
If you guys don't mind, could you take this out of the thread? I don't want this timeline to be thought of as pulling in conspiracy theorists.
Hey, what did you think of the idea I pmed you about RP campaign having an outcome on the NDAA lawsuit?
And yes we should take the conspiracy talk somewhere else.

Some have suggested DeMint. He is a religious rightist, which might turn off some of Paul's base. That said, he'd likely bring in the knee-jerk religious rightists.
Obama might write Paul off...but he might face a revolt by the anti-war elements of his base. (Even OTL, one liberal cartoonist described Paul as "the most sane of the GOP bunch".)
As for the media, while many would be in the Anti-Paul camp, Paul would still be getting coverage. Further, one could find those willing to say some good things about Paul in various places- from Rachel Maddow to John Stossel.

I won't be surprised if Obama lets the NDAA case slide just for the sake of damage control. I've said this 1000 times and it would be intresting to see that black mark Obama try to cover up by deliberately losing to Hedges lawsuit.

Oh- while OTL Republicans attacked Obama over the Benghazi deaths, Paul will point out that the US shouldn't have been in Libya in the first place...
Controversial sites. Even more so than well...RT. And did I see a "naturalnews" link there on the second? That makes it not creditable.
Always. Whatever happens, I can see Rand having a better chance in the future. Especially TTL where Ron did even better. And that's because with a Paul victory, Rand doesn't have to endorse Romney and his family gains recognition.
