Whats attracted new conservative to the republican party and whats helped re-energize the republican party is the Barry Goldwater/facially conservative/personal freedoms/Tea Party like ideology that Ron Paul has largely become the spokesperson for since GW took his second term. The November 2010 elections were shape by this ideology and hopefully the congressional and presidential 2012 elections will be too. The HUGE strides he made for the fiscal conservatives and civil liberty types in the last election are now coming to fruition, hopefully his rhetoric this time around will resonate even louder for future legislators and legislation.

Also depending on who gets the ticket I think he stands a good chance of being nominated for security of state or another appointed position….. possibly even vice president.
Corporate America won't like him and so he will never be nominated or picked for any meaningful post.
