Democrats. No real Republican will vote for him. You might get some less leftist Democrats voting in protest

The Majority of eligible voters in the last presidential election voted for, "None of the Above", because they decided they didn't like either candidate.
Ron Paul will energize some of those non-voters, into voting.
As an Independent he wouldn't stand a chance, the same as the Libertarian party.
If he gets nominated on the Republican ticket, he may draw many newbies into the party.
And if he gets elected he will change the CURRENT image of the Republican party.

First you have to get Ron Paul to run as an independent or 3rd party candidate. One place to try that online is http://www.unity08.com , which is trying to nominate a bipartisan ticket.
If the war is over by November 2008, I would think his prolife views would take more votes away from The GOP. If the war is still going, he would take more votes from the Democrats due to his opposition to the war, capital punishment, "free" trade with China, and oil drilling in Alaska.
Never the less (or more), candidates don't take votes away from each other. Votes belong to voters not parties or candidates. If a party thinks they are having votes taken away by 3rd party candidates, they should get behind run off elections rather than trying to scare voters into voting for them as "the lesser of two evils." Neither "major" party is terribly "evil," but neither is the best choice for all voters.

I would say Democrat. But he has to run as a Republican, because Independents unfortunately never win.

it's a tough call, he is the most liberal which would be democrats and he is anti-war which would be both these days but still more so democrats. I say he would take more votes from the democrats.

It won't even register enough to note as a fraction of a percent. Most of Ron Paul's supporters can't vote in our elections, either because of age or nationality. lol
But he has a lot of the Dem rhetoric down to a science.

Republicans, that is why he is so dangerous to us. Ron Paul will cause the Republican party to loose the election if he doesn't drop out after he loses the primaries.
I honestly believe his support on the net is from liberals such as George Soros who are trying to sabotage the Republican Party.

Neither. He won't get more than a handful of votes as an independent.

more dems will vote for him. even though he has probably the most conservative views (not neo-con) of any candidate he wants to bring peace, fix our issues at home, fix our foriegn policy, and (besides being anti-choice) he is pretty good with giving citizens rights

I don't think either party is worried but I suspect it would more likely be Republican.
