I think it should have been mentioned that real people drive the internet campaigns and real people only latch on to strong, real ideas, something that the mainstream candidates simply don't have. They are too concerned about maintaining the status quo and will never have internet support because of that. Broadcasting a message of "status quo" isn't required.

Ya, I think Taco John didn't really know how to get that across politely, without flat out saying "our message is actually sincere" or something like that. But I was thinking the same thing.

Tucker interview with NPR about Ron Paul. Perhaps a preview of Tucker's upcoming article. I like the part where he thinks that the Ron Paul supporters are the "best educated supporters of any candidate". =)

Haha that clip made me smile. I love the stuff at the end about riding in the van and RP eating the food his supporters give him. I really love Ron Paul.

The thing Tucker said about many RP supporters probably not having fully thought through the idea that there will be no govt safety net and that this is actually what RP supports, and that they might not be RP supporters if they realized this, made me cringe. I don't get why Tucker occasionally slings odd nonsense like that. He probably just actually believes that's the case. And I guess maybe it is the case, for some of his fringe support such as 911 truth etc., but it in no way is true of the "typical" RP supporter. But altogether Tucker is extremely fair to RP, for a MSMer. It was a nice clip.

I don't fully understand the delegate process but I applied to become a Precinct Committeeman here in AZ.

I think that the voters have a say in the primary as long as there is a majority in my state. If there is no majority, then I think it gets a little loopy.

Bodog Prop! - Max bet = 50

Bet On: Will the Ron Paul Tea Party 2007 receive more than 100,000 pledges by the end of December 16, 2007?


Yes
+500

No
-900

Proceeds of course should be used in a blimp project. +500 is pretty good. Put down $50, it pays out $250. Go tell everyone you know to sign up at teaparty, and take this bet. Use $100 from your $250 in winnings to actually pay the RP campaign. Self fulfilling prophecy, BooYAH!

damn, that fox interview didn't look too good. Sounds like Paul's "liberty" is like Giuliani's "9/11". That isn't too bad, but he also seemed either sick (health speaking) or high, no joke. And he was also extremly defensive in the first question, without cause.
