RENO, NEV. The remaining candidates in the winnowed Republican presidential field are attacking one another with abandon, each day bringing fresh headlines of accusations and outrage. But Mitt Romney and Ron Paul havent laid a hand on each other. They never do.
Despite deep differences on a range of issues, Romney and Paul became friends in 2008, the last time both ran for president. So did their wives, Ann Romney and Carol Paul. The former Massachusetts governor compliments the Texas congressman during debates, praising Pauls religious faith during the last one, in Jacksonville, Fla. Immediately afterward, as is often the case, the Pauls and the Romneys gravitated toward one another to say hello.
Romneys aides are quietly in touch with Ron Paul, according to a Republican adviser who is in contact with the Romney campaign and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss its internal thinking. The two campaigns have coordinated on minor things, the adviser said even small details, such as staggering the timing of each candidates appearance on television the night of the New Hampshire primary for maximum effect.
You can laugh if you want, but you have to admit it would bring in some younger voters to the GOP that have traditionally voted Dem.
I can't see RP supporters voting for Obama....unless they're the ones that are young, just want to be trendy, and don't care about policies. Paul and Obama are kinda opposites.
It may bring in people that would write in Paul.
