« Richardson: The Presidency or bust! | Main | Iowa poll: Romney leads, Thompson takes 2nd »

Independent could shake up the race

In the comments to our eHarmony for Presidential candidates post below, which links a political quiz designed to show how close the candidates are to your own opinions, reader "DoubleU" pointed to a new entry in the race who has shown some striking acceptance by the electorate. His name is Walter, and in an online poll at his site he is attracting an impressive 85.5% support. (Obviously, the Ron Paul brigades haven't found that poll yet, making one they've missed so far).

Straight talk:


  • Currently 5/5
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
Rating: 5/5 (4 votes cast)

OK, OK, RP has a cogent response on foreign policy in the New Hampshire paper today. He doesn't explain what he would do with monsters who fling populated projectiles at peopled towers.

He parses isolationist vs non-interventionist? At what point, Sir, do you intervene against projectiles?

Oregon barely got 100 people to show up for their "straw poll," and bryanD wonders why it's not a headline?

Puh-leeze.

Oh, and Paul's "non-interventionist" policies, had they been practiced for the last half-century or so, would have delivered the world to the Soviet Empire without so much as a shot from us - so long as they refrained from coming up the Mississippi River in rowboats.

100 should have been 200 IF RudyMcRomback didn't have the political equivalent of bubonic plague. Doesn't The Ghoul KNOW how to make REAL phone calls to REAL contacts? He's turning out to be a goombah reject. A clothes horse with a bad disposition.

Instead, he spends that very day backfilling a New Meme: "NO MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY FAKE 9/11 WIFE PHONE CALLS FROM THE WOMAN I DIVORCED MY REAL 9/11 WIFE FOR!"

As for "headlines", I said "hits". There were a few: in comments from July. But RP is being covered pretty well now (Atlantic, Reason, etc).

My consolation is the situation of Mike Allen (Politico suck-up supremo) having to think (again!)REALLY HARD about this problem called Ron Paul! He's "news" and needs to have "entries". Politico is his own Baby and E TICKET to The Life, but W and the RNC will be PISSED if he does and might cut him off!
"What can I do? What can I DO? I'm being scooped!"

Thus he brainstorms to the sound of his own explosive diarrhea.
