Overreactions abound...Dr. Paul came off WAY worse in the earlier debate in which he said he wasn't worried about an Iranian nuke. This is better for us given that Dr. Paul was able to further clarify his position. Could it have gone better? Sure, if he'd have mentioned:
1. Receives more donations from troops than all of my rivals COMBINED.
2. Was a captain in the air force.
3. Republicans were crushed in 2008 because Americans are SICK OF WARS; why are Republicans running on a promise to bomb Iran in2012?
4. We're "the land of the free and the brave", not "the land of the scared and cowering".
But his response as it stands was, at worst, dredging up our weakest idea, and at best, a better explanation of his most controversial stance. If we're going to lose this thing, it won't be over paranoia about Iran.
