11. he may pick up votes indirectly

Some of those Paulites WILL vote libertarian, or just sit it out all together. The GOP really underestimates the dislike of Romney within the party. The Paulites and assorted others DO have another party to turn to when the RINOs piss them off. I don't think counting on hatred for Obama is a great idea for the GOP.
