Well, the writing is clearly on the wall. Ron Paul will not win the Republican nomination, let alone even 10% of the primarys.

So what should his strategy be as an indepentant candidate? Some have suggested he take on Kucinich as Vice-President. This would unite libertarians and socialists, giving him atleast 20% of the nation.

I suggest waiting until after the NH primary to make your assumptions. He received 10%+ in Iowa, beat RG, 1st (35%) in Jefferson County and came in better than 5th in many counties. Write-in has a better chance than 3rd party anyways. I'm missing a few more things but I have little time to spare.
