For those of you espousing the "lesser of two evils" theory, I'm curious: if it were a race between Newt and Paul, who'd you vote for?
Ron Paul has a lot of great ideas and some kooky ones to go along with it.
The issue is not what ideas he has, but what he can actually make happen. If you think for a second that Congress is going to just go along with even 1/2 of Ron Pauls ideas, then you are living in a fantasy world.
For those calling Newt a career politician, RP isn't far from that.
Newt is a realist, RP is still dreaming about the way things used to be and isn't going to let go of that. Times have changed (for the worse unfortunately) and RP just can't get passed that.
I am not saying that I do not like RP, or his ideas.
If it came down to the above, I am going to vote for the guy that can beat the current resident and put a republican back in the WH. RP doesn't have the numbers, the media, or the endorsements at this time.
Wait till after Iowa, we may see a change.
