liberal is for a conservative as fascist was for trotskyites: its only content really is "i dont like you."

as for the debates, such as they were, i have to say that this is a pretty sorry field. the index of the its status is that a right libertarian ends up sounding like the most appealing of these folks. by quite a distance. this even though everyone seems to already know that ron paul has no chance of getting the nomination. personally, if i were a highup in the rnc, i would be seriously considering paul, though. what would the rnc have to loose? if things continue in a straight line from 5 june 2007, the republicans have no chance of getting the white house again..so why not?

i disagree with the guy's basic politics, but he is a hell of alot more interesting than any of the more likely choices.

i dont think guiliani's name recognition is going to power him through the deep obstacle to his presidential aspirations that is his personality and the other obstacle which is his politics. same with mccain.

right now, if i were to pick the nominee i think most likely, it'd be romney.
