just to add to this, ron paul would not only drive more jews to the democratic ticket, it would be a democrat's turnout machine wet dream.
the exact opposite effect would occur up north, it would be a republican demotivator's wet dream.
and ronald would not exactly inspire confidence among the space coast with his desire to dismantle any government program he could get his hands on.
obama would carry florida so easily against a paul that it would be comical. ronald would have to pour so much money into that state that he would have less to spend on other important battlegrounds, like out west, ohio, and NC/VA.
