What is the chance that Rmoney picks Rand Paul for Veep?

I see several advantages--activates the teapartiers, the Paulies/libertarians, geographical balance, Washington experience...maybe attract the religious fundies...

Whaddya think?

Seriously, though, none. He's a crazy right-winger, zero (likely) appeal to independents, barely any clocked time in the US Senate (1+ year at this point).

Pandering to the noisy but statistically insignificant Paul cult will do nothing to attract the moderate and swing voters that Romney needs.
