In a room full of neocons and conservatives, he won the poll.
That's says A LOT.
Like he did last year. Again, he has won straw polls in the past but they never translate to anything.
I would be surprised if Ron Paul even runs in 2012 to be honest with you. Ron Paul is going to be 77 in 2012. That's about 6 years younger than McCain when he ran in 2008. That's as old as Reagan was when he left in office. As we've seen with prior Presidents, the job ages you fairly quickly. Whoever he picks as a VP will be just as important if he does win the GOP nomination.
He's more likely to run for the senate seat in Texas in my opinion.
He doesn't run expecting to actually win. He runs to open people's eyes up to the bullshit, and he did a pretty damn good job of that in his last campaign.
