As the title says, if Ron Paul had won the 2012 Republican primaries, who would he have picked as his vice presidential running mate?

I know it is unlikely he would have won the primaries, but still.

I think that Pat Buchanan and Walter Williams were considered as possibilities.  Some supporters of his wanted Romney or Mitch Daniels.

I think it'd have been Walter Williams.

A non-controversial and popular Governor, Tim Pawlenty or Bill Haslam, would reinforce him and make the GE closer. Paul Broun is another likely ally of his.

Finally, Governor Butch Otter is a former Freedom Caucus member. I'd say he's the most likely.

It'd be funny to see the weekly standard crowd all endorsing Obama in this scenario.

Walter B. Jones, supported him in both '08 and '12, libertarian republican against Iraq, from a battleground state (North Carolina), and he may add I dunno something to the ticket, it'd be better to pick a senator or governor though, but Paul's for principles, and if not Jones, Otter or Roemer.
