Probably not for the sarcastic reasons of the poster above. While I get that Ron Paul has many of the same positions that ALL of the other republicans have, I also know he at least will vocalize some of the issues that democrats have abandoned, anti-drug war, anti-unjust warring, anti-huge-military industrial complex.

I'll still vote for Obama, with no other liberal choices. But as a just-in-case, I'd love to see a republican trying to cut wars. As far as slashing social programs, even if he was to get elected, he couldn't do that. Personally I'm seeing another Obama landslide, and close to 60 in the Senate again, even though only ten republicans are running. Of course, as they did in 2010, Democrats can run to lose again, insuring us of another 2 years at least, of gridlock.
