Are Ron Paul and Mitt Romney about to do a deal?



The Texas Representative might also be enticed, says campaign chairman Jesse Benton, by the prospect of serving as a presidential adviser, a Cabinet position for someone in his orbit or “perhaps a vice presidency.” Not for himself, but rather his son. Rand Paul, the junior senator from Kentucky and a Tea Party icon, is expected to launch his own White House bid in 2016. Being on the ticket now – or even being mentioned for it – would be a helpful step. Says one Paul adviser: “If you’re talking about putting Rand on the ticket, of course that would be worth delivering our people to Romney.”

It's been obvious to anybody who has watched the debates or followed the campaign that Ron Paul has some sort of deal going with Mitt Romney. And now, perhaps, we know why.

Question is: will anybody put Mitt Romney on the spot and ask him how he feels about the trade?
