    I wouldn't vote for that. The Vice President has as much say in things as the president allows.

    I think this would be Ron Paul selling out... Would he be able to implement ANY of his proposed policies under Romney? Romney would fundamentally be at most slightly to the right of Obama.

    No, none of Paul's policies would be implemented. The vice president is utterly powerless unless the president gives him the power. His greatest power is to be the deciding vote in the senate if it's a tie and that just doesn't happen.

    well Hillery thinks Obama will win another term personally I hope not,honestly I will not know for sure who I vote for right up intill I get ready to got to the polls ..I have a few I am thinking about but I like to watch and learn while the race is at full speed to see how they act when the chips are down and voting begins, it sounds crazy but that's the way I do it.

    with this being as close as it was, this could be considered a victory for santorum. romney had weeks and weeks to put him away in his home state, but he barely eeked it out. romney needed a thorough beat down in michigan. with super tuesday coming up a lot of southern states are voting and gingrich might make some headway and get back into this thing. this is not over yet. romney needed a knockout punch and did not get it last night.

    I hate to ask but...any predictions for the top spots at the polls ? I know it's a wild race and anything can happen but you seem to be on top of all this .

    10% of the votes were democrats. 50% of them voted for Santorum. My math says that's 5% of the vote that is picking the guy they want to face in november...which is actually an anti-vote.

    Romney did not need a knock out punch, that is crazy. He just needs to keep winning. He's going to get it done.

    I'll bet you $10,000 Mitt's the nominee. ;)

    Why would this be Ron Paul selling out? He would have much more say as VP then as a Senator.

    Would any of his policies be implemented? I'd say - yes, I think he would get an audit of the Fed. In my opinion, that's his most touted policy proposal.

    I completely disagree with you. The Vice President has such a minuscule amount of say and trust me, I have studied this. It's really up to the President how involved he wants his VP and I personally do not see Romney giving Paul much of a say in anything. It's a huge loss of status and say especially if you are a tenured Senator.

    If he could, more power to him.

    I don't see it happening. Would auditing the fed help or hurt Romney's business interests?

    ha ha ha... I guess that's why so many Senators have taken the VP position. No offense, but I don't care whether you studied it or not. It's without a doubt not a loss of status. That's hysterical.

    Anyway, I remember hearing a lot of folks say Cheney ran the White House.

    To be real, I don't see him being chosen as the VP. But, I think Paul would take it in a heartbeat if it was offered. The only reason Romney would choose Paul, in my opinion, is Paul gets youth vote and brings excitement with him OR he needs his delegates. That said, their differences on war would be difficult to handle in an election.

    As for would auditing the Fed help or hurt Romney's business interests? I think it could help actually. But, that's my opinion. I'm not really sure who supports Romney, but I know the largest bond holder in the world supports Ron Paul. There is business reason to support someone who's anti-inflation.
