In the news this week, Romney finally appointed his 2012 running mate, Paul Ryan, as his vice presidential running mate for the 2012 presidential bid against the current United States president, Barack Obama. The Republican (GOP) front man Mitt Romney had many in mind but ended up landing with Ryan, supporting his many bills and plans.
Many wonder how Romney will win the Ron Paul supporters over in the 2012 election as most have moved to support the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. Speculations were made early on that Rand Paul would receive the Vice Presidential bid, but were proven wrong with this recent news.
Kentucky Senator, Rand Paul, endorses Mitt Romney on Sean Hannity on June 7th, 2012. After
Senator Paul supported his father Ron Paul throughout his father's 2012
campaign since he was 11 years old, he has now shifted his support to Mitt Romney for the 2012 election against Obama. Dr. Ron Paul
has officially dropped out of the race and ended his campaign as
Governor Romney has now clinched enough delegates after this last
Tuesday's election in many states gave Romney enough delegates to clench
the Republican Party nomination.
Paul family and many Libertarian supporters were outraged on the
internet and YouTube at Senator Rand Pauls comments. Comments such as
"What a disgrace you are Rand !" and "This is disgraceful. If my father
ran for president, I would stand by him until after the election, even
he had no chance. We will prove all delegates are unbound (August is a
ways away) and Rand can be kicking himself when Ron gives his
acceptance speech and Rand gets nothing. RP'12" have received top thumbs
up status so far.
The Libertarian Party issued an official press release recently calling Rand Paul’s endorsement or Governor Romney a betrayal of the Libertarian principles and of his own father’s (Ron Paul) politics. Some have speculated that Romney has already talked to the Paul family
and have promised positions to either Ron Paul or his son Rand. Many
are now questioning if Ron Paul supporters will eventually support
Romney in the 2012 general election as many of them were torn by Rand Paul's endorsement of Romney.
Present for the debate were the following candidates: Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, and Ron Paul.
