I don't have a dog in this fight, but...

The thing is, I don't think anyone on the left, even on the centre left is going to find themselves agreeing with a great deal of his opinions or policy intentions.

The question is, could he, from the right, find a compromise that worked for the whole of the centre, more or less, and take the left with him some of the way.

I don't know if that's likely or possible.

Ron Paul has been quite interesting. There have been a few times I've found myself nodding along. The comments he made about waterboarding for instance.
