It would be fun to turn conventional politics on its ear, but I don't have faith in the voters to do that. It's too ingrained in them to vote R or D.

HOWEVER, Ron Paul isn't done yet. The media hasn't talked about him, but he is still a viable candidate. If he runs as an Indy, I think he would make a good showing. He, in my opinion, has the best chance of pulling off a cross-party win.
