ha, indeed a republican split would be good. But he's not drawing republicans exclusively. What he's doing is taking a healthy portion of (mostly naive) young voters, for several reasons - he is making politics relevant, interesting, and more importantly, fresh for them. Can't be a bad thing.
I'm not saying he is the best candidate, I'm nowhere close to deciding who'd be best, but he's considered batshit insane mostly because of his economic views. Most people, who are avid supporters of fairly mainstream economics, dismiss him entirely as a wack-job. But then you look at Ron Paul economics and realize that it is pretty consistent with the Vienna or Chicago School of thought, which are both fairly respected economic doctrines, though heterodox

Ummm, he's also considered batshit insane because white supremacists/neo-nazi's support him, his views privatizing more of the government (especially at the level libertarians want to) would turn our country into an even bigger cesspool of lobbying and no-bid contractual hell, he utilizes suspect methods of campaigning including enlisting spam-bots and dipshits on the street fresh off the LaRouche wagon-- and ultiamtely doesn't offer anything tenable in terms of policy.
