What if Ron Paul Wins more Delegates than Anyone Else?

I picture wingnut heads exploding, Dick Cheney keeling over for good, and Bill Kristol offering to blow Paul Ryan and/or Chris Christie.

Seriously, it would be way more devastating for the Republicans than, say, Dennis Kucinich winning the Dem primaries.

What's more, I wouldn't rule it out!

You can safely rule it out. It won't happen. Look at the polling after he leaves Iowa: 15% in NH, 8% in SC, 5% in Fla.

After Iowa, those numbers may tick up a bit, but not enough to matter.

Feels good to say it. Ronpaul ought to replace all swear words. "Oh. ronpaul it! Go ronpaul yourself.", like that.

"Seriously, it would be way more devastating for the Republicans than, say, Dennis Kucinich winning the Dem primaries."

...would an anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-civil rights, anti-voting rights, anti-Social Security, anti-government candidate be devastating to Republicans?

If anything he'd be one step closer to moving the country far right.

And why would Kucinich be "devastating" to Democrats? Kucinich does a lot of grandstanding, but his candidacy would not be damaging.

Now, if we're talking about establishment politics, then yes, but Ron Paul would be potentially more devastating to the country as a whole.

"Anti-War." You honestly think the Neo Con Artists wouldn't lose their noggins if Paul were the nominee?
