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.
