Re: OMG - Ron Paul for President!
Agreed. However, I think a worse situation is that those who typically vote (R) don't vote (R) this time out because of what's happened in the last few years. Biggest thing to me, is that Bush violated a primary plank in the Republican platform: less govt. in people's lives

Re: OMG - Ron Paul for President!
I don't think this will be an issue when it comes to Ron Paul. If he gets public attention, most news organizations are going to point out about how opposite of Bush he is. How he is nicknamed "Dr. No"
Also remember that there are far far more "conservatives" than there are "liberals." I don't remember the exact number, but I recall when some of the news shows have talked about Billary for president she would have to get all of the Democratic vote, plus X percent of the Republican vote.

Re: OMG - Ron Paul for President!
Sounds to me like PAFOA needs to consider our first official endorsement.
All in favor?
Opposed?

Re: OMG - Ron Paul for President!
i will definitely be registering R to vote for him in the primary if he runs.
(i usually am registered independent or L, but often temporarily register D or R to be able to vote in a primary.)

Re: OMG - Ron Paul for President!
I wish he'd run as an L or an I. I'm sick of two-party politics and this guy absolutely, definitely does not stand amongst modern-day Republicans.
I'm not fond of some minor stances of his (neither affect me) but don't think they'd be a concern if he had his way."Because I'm an American." - MtnJack

Re: OMG - Ron Paul for President!
From what I've read, he sounds like a great candidate. And you all know what that means. Great candidates never get elected

Re: OMG - Ron Paul for President!
Actually, he did run as an L in 1988. I'm not sure that he stands any type of chance with the general R masses once his history comes to fore as the general public tends to look on national level L candidates as being a little bit out there. I will reserve judgment until the field actually forms. Tom Tancredo of Colorado has also announced the formation of an exploratory committee and is looking to run on a "common sense" platform on a lot of the issues that I am interested in. So far though there is no one who I see as being a front runner. Certainly not Rudy or McCain who are too much for open borders. Just my .02.
