Paul would probably lose big, but I think he'd win some states that Republicans haven't won in a while. Probably would be Obama in the upper 50s/lower 60s, but Paul wins New Hampshire, Maine, and possibly Colorado, along with another 100 Electorals.

This would be very ugly.


Barack Obama (D-IL)/Joseph Biden (D-DE) 410 Electoral Votes
Ron Paul (R-TX)/Rick Santorum (R-PA) 128 Electoral Votes

The consensus is generally correct, but why on gods green earth is Santorum the VP. I could see even Romney being the VP before Santorum, considering how much Santorum and Paul HATED each other.

Barack Obama - 58% - 398 EV's
Ron Paul - 40% - 140 EV's

Paul is down Goldwater amounts most of the election, with many people thinking a full sweep is possible. However, Obama gets lazy and doesn't really campaign much, where Paul's own Paulite ground game starts to get him some support in the mountain states and, surprisingly, in New Hampshire and Colorado. He still gets crushed enormously in the general, but he wins in a much stronger amount of states than expected, including states he was not even expected to pull 40% in like Colorado and New Hampshire. Strongest state is Alaska.
