... and then ask his generals if he was allowed to come home.

I'm confident Ron's position in his role as a federal servent would be that such choices (as well as highway funding) should be left to states and municipalities, and that states would have the right to sue other states in Federal Court if necessary. That said, on the philosophical front, how...

Ron's always said it's about the message not the man. It's clear to me that having a two-time governor backing up his positions on stage helps legitimize Ron with curious Republicans. If Gary is denying him delegates post New Hampshire, only then we can talk about detrimental effects.

Gary Johnson is the best thing that's happened to the Ron Paul 2012 campaign. The fact that a Ron Paul endorser was re-elected Governor of a 2-1 Democratic-registered state lends tremendous credibility to Ron Paul's message, and credibility is exactly what Ron Paul lacks in the eyes of a lot of...

I was the last one to vote at my polling place. No, I did not swap out the ballot box afterward. :D

I love how they say that the $5 million he's raised in Q4 is far less than the $20 million he raised in Q3... rather than mentioning he's ahead of where he was at this point in Q3.

This is remarkable. We'd heard before that he was leading in military donations, but it was fairly close and didn't include Q4 numbers. Now he's more than trippling his nearest competitor and he's raised as much as all the others combined!

This was perhaps his best performance. He got a lot of valid points across in limited time and didn't stumble over his words.

I've been thinking this way for a while. There needs to be someone in the race who doesn't think that more government is the solution to all problems with government.

Everyone is pissed off because of losing, but blaming the blimp backers is just wrong. It got free national media exposure, not Florida, not South Carolina. We could also say radio ads don't work and TV ads don't work and debate performances don't work and youtube videos don't work, because he...

So what? Why do we care what corporations are doing overseas? You make it sound like they are US-based terrorists. If they are somehow doing something in a foreign country that violates the rights of its citizens, that foreign country can stop them locally. There's no way for a corporation...

Older folks don't want to be stuck at the bottom of the pyramid scheme. It's one thing to be young and resist paying into social security, it's another thing to have spent your whole life having your wages taken away and then have politicians telling you your money's gone. Older folks are...

Because the only people who support him are people who are paying attention, which are likely to be people that vote in early states (ie, the states that get polled).

What is significant about this is that Mitt was the only guy we had never come close to beating, even prior to Nevada.
