It's too early to make any predictions for 2012. A lot of people don't take Ron Paul seriously, but because of the fit Republicans are throwing regarding the health care reform, I think he may actually have a slight chance.
@Legodude: The US gov't doesn't see health care being a natural right. It's considered a privilege. This is why 30 million people are in the shitters and this is why the Republicans are throwing a fit. The US is the #1 spender on health care, yet it fails to make top 20 for best health care among countries in the world.
