I think the problem for the GOP is going to be if Paul steps down and runs as an Independent. I think Paul will rob votes from whoever the GOP nominee is.
Me being a Dem... I'm fine with that... but it has to be kind of disconcerting to our Conservative Brethren.
I don't think Paul is likely to run as a third party candidate. He didn't in 2008.
The one thing that makes me think he might is that based on his performance in the debates, he might dislike Gingrich enough to prefer Obama. He certainly wouldn't endorse Gingrich (he didn't endorse McCain) and he might allow his name to be placed on the ballot by third parties.
