You're kidding right? Neither would have incentive to do this. Obama has money, notoriety and well...credibility. All things Dr. Paul doesn't.
Let's not even talk about politics. Ron Paul doesn't represent any real wing of the Republican party, so it's not like has much of a constituent base and his core are people who spend their time at the Mises Institute lamenting the way the country "has been lost" and who falsely thing that supporting a guy who just want to "change" the country by browbeating us to death over stuff that he's not going to change, will work.
I appreciate his presence in the GOP debates, because at least he's interesting. Well for a few minutes until he starts to ask detailed policy questions to his opponents. Then he's just being belligerent and it's when people stop listening.
Those people have a very bichromatic view of the world. They don't understand the nuances that exist in the margins of society and I can't see how anyone could profess to want to run the country without having at least a decent understanding of the
people who make up this great place.
Ok, back on topic now.
