That's a pretty big if....

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I disagree with many of his views... but the selfishness of the Pauls in not getting behind his candidacy makes me pity the man

[Donerail]

If he does well this round (over a percentage point) then sure.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I would not call it selfish at all. Ron Paul got behind Chuck Baldwin in 2008, and Chuck Baldwin was a radio pastor that only those in the Constitution Party would know of. Baldwin had a quarter of the money Johnson raises in just one month, and had little if any ground organization. But the key point was that Paul and Baldwin had the same views. Paul and Johnson do not. I still support Johnson, but I don't think Paul should have to endorse him.

Ron Paul is damned if he does endorse Johnson for "splitting votes", and damned if he didn't for being "selfish."

[Maxwell]

I would vote for him if he got the chance... again.

[Modernity has failed us]

I'd vote for him if I'm not super-enthusiastic about the GOP candidate.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Well someone's gotta fill the gap between now and when it's Rand Paul's turn.

Would he run as a Republican?  He might get some traction as they reward 2nd time candidates. 

[Joe Republic]

Would he run as a Republican?  He might get some traction as they reward 2nd time candidates. 

Not ones who ran against the official nominee, or libertarians.
