I've seen where Pat Buchanan has said good things about Ron Paul. Pat has ran for President before and did well in New Hampshire in 1996(?) where Paul is gaining momentum. Would Paul chose Buchanan as a running mate?

Buchanan would be a good choice, I think. It would REALLY drive the liberals nuts, to have to consider the issues in the context of the Constitution, capitalism, individual freedom.
Ron is more libertarian, though and Pat is more traditional conservative, but they agree on many basic issues.

Funny, where are all the Ron Paul supporters on this question? TheDude? Jessicaisbeautiful? why aren't they answering this question? Are they trying to distance themselves from Pat?

Only if he wanted to absolutely, positively guarantee that he'd lose the election.
Mr. Paul would be a dark horse indeed if he won the Republican nomination. His chances even against a turnip nominiated by the Democratic party would not be good. With Pat Buchanan as a running mate he would seal the greatest Democratic landslide victory in history, easily eclipsing Nixon's 49 state advantage in 1972.

I might actually consider him then.
Pat Buchanan is a true conservative.

I doubt it, Buchanan is smart but he's a protectionist and very anti-gay.

Sure, why not?
Especially seeing that they are both Libertarians at heart.

No. He wants to, and the country needs, to get away from reglious fanatics dictating how you and I live our lives, telling us what we can and can't do with our bodies, what we should and should not think with our brains, and what we should and shouldn't study in public schools. To see the harms caused by religious fanatics, one need only look at Iran.
