Might be a bit early to start this but I feel like making a prediction (33/1 at Victor Chandler)
The republicans won't place much emphasis on attacking Obama's foreign policy (other than seeming to reach out to Iran a few years ago) mainly because Obama inherited the wars he's in with the exception of Libya. The question, presumably, will be the economy. Obama's 'big government' action to sorting the current problems is of course, proving unpopular with the growing right. The republicans, moreso than usual, will sympathise with some libertarian economics.
Ron Paul is probably the most outspoken candidate when it comes to 'small government' and I think in this campaign he'll flourish with conservatives on economic issues. He'll certainly make use of the S and C words when describing Obama's policy on healthcare and regulation. The gamble is that Paul is also probably the most outspoken against middle east intervention and this will be divisive perhaps to the point of forming fringe groups like the tea party. Paul is also a fringe member in many people's eyes. But on the fringe topics, all eyes will be on Sarah Palin, Paul might get through without as much controversy.
Ron Paul for the Republican nomination, 33/1 at Victor Chandler.
