    I don't think it would have mattered (none / 0) (#1)

    The thing is, there are a large portion of Ron Paul voters who wouldn't have voted for Romney no matter how much we gave them.  I'm talking about the hard core libertarians who feel very passionately about their beliefs, especially in the foreign policy realm.  I've had some great friends who are Ron Paul supporters, and I don't mind them.  But there are some who are just obnoxious in their views, and they refuse to budge at all.

    As you say, Virginia was probably too close to swing the election, and I don't think 89% of Paul supporters in Ohio would have swung to Romney either.

    But this isn't to say that the overall principle of your argument is wrong.  I think we need to be appealing to libertarians more.  I think we need to be appealing to everyone more.  I've always been a supporter of a big tent party, and if we ignore the libertarian wing of the party, they'll leave.
