It was a good interview as far as it went...but I would like to have seen Russert ask Paul to explain his position supporting industry as self-regulators as opposed to federal government regulation...or why he is opposed to any federal R&D in the areas of medicine, science and technology
The telling point for me was that he couldnt explain how ANY goverment services would be provided outside of defense and entitlements (social security, medicare for current seniors) once he eliminates the IRS and the income tax, particularly because he doesnt want to replace it with a flat tax or any type consumption or sales tax.
IMO, that explains why he is not electable.
