My reaction would be like this (in that specific order):

Still beats Perry, Romney, or Bachmann, I suppose.

I would laugh and then bring up some of his more racist statements from way back when when ever I could when talking with folks who might be thinking about voting for him. Especially the libertarians.

I would cry manly tears of joy, participate in the internet wide celebrations, and then pack my bags and move to the USA if he won the general election.

Option 1, but all the current candidates for the nomination would cause the same reaction so it's not really special.

I'd withdraw every penny I have stored in the US and renegotiate my current salary from dollars into euros (or even pesos, if they don't allow me the euros). I would also do my best to urgently move to Australia: one would have to try to get as far from the oncoming train wreck as possible.

On the other hand, I'd, probably, not do any of that: Obama would surely win in a landslide, avoiding the need for drastic measures.

I would be content. Ron Paul is really 50/50 I'm with him or hate him because he's a lun on all the issues. At least it would be certain government would get smaller somehow.

The same way I'd react to a dog speaking Portugese or a tree playing the saxophone or anything else that could never actually happen.

I'd LOL and vote for Paul anyway seeing that his presidency would be a lot more entertaining than another four years of Obama.

If Ron Paul is the nominee, internet would collaps. And then, confused Pentagon system would start shooting missiles at Canada.

I'd do a little jig and find myself finally voting for a major political party's presidential nominee.

I would laugh at the notion of Romney, Bachmann, and Perry being disgusted with the "little people"  and Obama peeing himself out of fear. ;)

Tampa Bay would seriously have to start beefing up for next September.  The convention would be a party more epic than anything this country has seen in a long time.

And I would bring up Obamas reverse racist preacher.

I want Ron Paul to win the GOP nomination. Seriously. He's easily the smartest of them, with the most integrity, and the most consistent set of principles.

I would genuinely look forward to an Obama v Paul election.

If nothing else, it would be entertaining to see the two debating, with Obama having to actually defend things like drug laws, foreign wars, and the PATRIOT act.

You havent heard that term? It means a Black man who hates a White man, as Wright obivously does..We use reverse alot where I live because of our large Haitian population, so we hear "racism" cries and hence, "reverse racism" cries alot. Too much....

I would leave the country once he were elected president. I can't stand hearing him speak. He's an idiot. If my choices were Obama and Paul, I'm not voting. I'm a registered Republican. Still, I doubt he'd win.

I will try to find a pair of handguns, for self-defence purposes.

Also, you know Paul is a disaster when his supporters use "epic" unironically.

I would laugh out loud.  Obama is vulnerable.  Why would the GOP shoot itself in the foot and run Cain, Bachmann, Gingrich, Pawlenty or Paul in the general.  ALL these people get stomped by Obama.  The Mormons are the only ones that have a chance of beating this guy.  My how times have changed.  The election is going to be down to a Mormon and a black guy.  Only in America.  I love this place!

Going by the polls, Paul is disproportionately strong with independents and traditionally more Democratic demographics (youth, etc). He is generally among the strongest opponents to Obama if not the strongest.

Ron Paul could not win state wide office in Texas and he certainly is NOT going to win the Republican nomination or the presidency.  Let me just take all that off the table right now so you don't have to worry about it anymore.

Polls say otherwise.
