Interesting thought on the Ron Paul issue (read in the Wash. Post today, but still valid to consider): what happens if Paul does not win the Repub. nomination? If he starts a third-party candidacy he'd very likely assure Obama a victory, even more so than Perot did for Clinton in the 1990s. BUT...there is his son Senator Rand Paul, and starting a third-party candidacy would kill (or at least seriously hurt) his son's chance of becoming president in 2016 if he hands the Dems a victory in 2012. So, there is thought that he'll not split the party vote in 2012 to help his son's chances of becoming president.
