Re: Oh Boy....
[ QUOTE ]
If you think the betting lines are flawed, like I said to Nate, use your divine insight to go make a buck or two. [/ QUOTE ] You make a pretty big assumption that I haven't put money up... [ QUOTE ] I'm acting as if it means he has a 6% chance...What better indication is there? [/ QUOTE ] Things that take into account the electoral college, polls that place Paul against any of the top tier Republicans, common sense. Betting lines on political events are kind of funny...particular for third-party candidates (which is really what Paul is.) People who agree with the candidate overvalue him WAY more than supporters of a top tier candidate. |

[url=http I think aside from the fact that Paul would just tear her to shreds in a one-on-one debate, [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Stop it. He may have facts on his side and he may have theoretical underpinnings on his side but he comes across as a clown. He would have no chance of changing anyones mind in a one on one debate with Shrillary, and in fact his style is likely to shift people away, not attract them. |

[/ QUOTE ] That line struck me as ridiculous too. Hillary's policies may be repugnant, but she's also a brilliant, experienced politician totally familiar with the national spotlight and with positions that sound vastly more familiar and reasonable to the average person. It would be like the Kennedy-Nixon debate, but worse. |

Re: Oh Boy....
lol at anyone even discussing a Hillary-Ron debate at this point. I love the guy, but he has basically no chance to win the nomination.

When I said he would tear her apart, I meant by objective standards. Anyone arguing a consistent ideology would rip apart a mainstream politician, in my eyes. I don't know how anyone here would really disagree with that. Whether her strategy would win more votes is a different issue. Clearly that is the problem. |
