Now they are praying that he doesn't run in 2012 because it will help split GOP votes away from their preferred choices like Romney and cause all sorts of problems in the upcoming primary. Paul supporters are, as we've seen, incredibly vocal and show up to support him with as much passion as Tea Partiers did during the despicable August health care town halls.
