When the numbers are crunched, I wonder how many Republicans will wish that they had courted -- instead of making a court jester out of -- Ron Paul much more aggressively.

In particular, states like Montana and Nevada will be ones to watch.

Paul says we do not need any more legislation.  we need to simply repeal the bad laws.  I could not agree with him more.

Swing the state?  Imagine that.

He gets funded if Paul gets enough of the vote.

Now we just need to get the damn debates opened up. What kind of democracy is in in which only the two mega parties get a voice in the debates?

In sales they call this an 'alternate of choice' sales tactic... i.e. 'do you want the red SUV or the blue one?' Not 'do you want an SUV'....

Same here. I -specifically- wrote in Ron Paul -- Barr... nope, not a chance.

He is on the ballot in 2 states.      I just could not agree to the status quo.  We have yet to see the massive effects of the bail outs.

I regret not voting for Paul in the primary.  His outlook is the ONLY outlook that could fix todays mess  No other outlook will fix it.

Status: offline 		Hmmm...  I tend to agree, but since I would rather not take the chance of McCain winning, I voted for the only guy who could make sure of that.  Right now, the only person who I believe won't annihalate the country once he gets into office while having a fighting chance against McCain, would be Obama.
What I don't get is why wasn't he on the Ballot?  He's exactly what we need, but if he can't even get himself on the ballot, no one will take him seriously.  He also didn't campaign enough in general, sticking to only a few states and a few Internet ads on Youtube.  You can't expect to have power in this country without spreading alot of wealth.  We are after all an Aristocracy!  Oh, sorry.  I mean't "Democratic Republic", but I forget that since only insanely rich people ever get a chance to hold office...

I hope Kanjorski is fried.   Any of them that voted for the bail out.

The reason why Ron Paul was shut out- is because he is for less empire.  GE and other make alot of money off of war.    Less empire would mean less corporate sales.  However- that same money would have more value... so the logic holds no merit.

States all have different laws about getting on the ballot. 

Obama is good at inspiring- but I think he is a wimp.   Less empire is in effect more- no talk of paring spending to the bone none.

And all the crying over taxes being raised.  duh- Ron Paul would delete the IRS the 2nd week of his presidency.   Think of how that fight would go?  There still would be tax- you know every lawyer in the country would be lobbying...to keep the IRS.
