Ron Paul
I think a Ron Paul Presidency, although a long shot at this point, would be great for online poker. I saw a headline on MSN when I logged on a few minutes ago, directing me to a poll on tonight's Republican Presidential debate. According to these poll results, Paul did well for himself. Did anyone see this?

Re: Ron Paul
Paul stood out on the stage in comparison to the rest of the candidates because in large part he was the only republican to vote against the war. He is uniquely libertarian in his views when compared to the other candidates so he appeals to that segment of the conservatives. All that being said he stands absolutely zero chance of winning. Zero. I'll be voting for him in the primary, but I don't imagine there will be a ground swell for his candidacy. Remember he ran for president as a nominee of the Libertarian party back in '88 i believe. In the nearly 20 years since then he has not really carved out a great national following. IMO there are only currently 3 candidates who could get the nomination (Guliani, McCain, and Romney) and only 1 or 2 others not in the race (Fred Thompson and Hagel) who could even make waves.

Re: Ron Paul
www.drudgereport.com (notoriously conservative) has a poll listing Paul as #3 behind Romney and Giuliani. I have no problem with this. Poll over 79k.

Here is a nice message to send to them: "As a loyal Fox viewer I ask that you include Ron Paul in the South Carolina Debate. I feel Dr. Ron Paul embodies the true ideals our nation stands for, and his views and plans need to be heard. Please remain the Fair and Balanced network by including Dr. Ron Paul, otherwise I will find my news elsewhere." [/ QUOTE ] Spell-check your e-mail first, though.

Re: Ron Paul
Paul's popularity in online polls says more about the libertarian bent of the internet than it does about Paul. My money says Giuliani will win the primary, in which case I hopw whoever the Dems put up can beat that authoritarian [censored].
