I think his only chance to win the nomination is the following: Become the consensus far-right conservative candidate, raise a ton of small donor money from the internet, build a grassroots campaign that can out-organize the other candidates, win Iowa and South Carolina and hope the campaign breaks just the right way. The stumbling block I see is that to win as an insurgent he's going to need a diverse coalition of conservative activist types. Rand Paul isn't going to be a perfect fit for the home-school crowd or definitely the Neo-cons. Also, he has to worry about a decline in the Tea Party movement.
In any case, I really hope Rand Paul runs for President. His policies are 100% cuckoo for cocoa puffs. If he somehow won the Republican primary, he would epically crash and burn in the general election.
