Obama vs. Romney vs. Paul

[solarstorm]

Make up a map of a three-way race Obama/Biden vs. Romney/Ryan vs. Paul/???.

According to a study from Jason Sorens, these ones have the largest libertarian population.

Ignoring the obvious fact that Paul would not actually win any states, .. DC?

Actually where he managed one of his best performances in the primaries.

No point in doing a map. Paul doesn't take any states. Obama crushes Romney in a landslide.

Paul gets second there, but like Romney would be in single digits. 10% at best. Idaho would go Romney due to Mormons.

My forecast, assuming that Paul's running mate would be his son:

[morgieb]

Paul wouldn't win any primaries but would flip the election to Obama.

Unfortunately he won't run, as he cares about Rand's future.

Paul would win Alaska, and could take Maine, and New Hampshire.

In 1980, Ed Clark won 11% of the vote in Alaska, beating out Anderson. In 1984, David Bergland won 3%, and in 1988, Paul took 2%. 1992 saw Perot getting 28% of the vote, and in 1996 Perot got 10%, with Nader taking 3%. Nader won 10% in 2000, and Buchanan got 1%. Nader got 1% in 2004, and again in 2008. With Alaska's history, I am convinced that Paul would win the state. Not only would Libertarians, angry Democrats, and some moderate Republicans support him, but Conservatives might even go for him if Palin endorsed him.

Yeah, Paul would totally conquer Alaska.

No.
