Okay, from what I'm seeing reported and what clips I've heard on the news Ron Paul is acting like he's somewhat senile. He's not answering questions in a relevant manner, he's ignoring current events... he's even faking deafness. (Or not. Could be his hearing aid died.)
Scratch him off the list...
To all the Paulistas out there (who haven't found my blog yet) - the guy you support ... I don't want to see him near the Presidency. We need a President who's fully oriented and capable of appropriate responses - and judging by the debates, Paul ain't it. Your mileage obviously varies, but you're not going to be able to persuade the majority of American voters to go for him.
Sorry. Maybe you can all chip in and find him some nice assisted living facility...
And as a contrast to the muddy thinking of Ron Paul - you might want to check out the latest essay over at EjectEjectEject.Com.
