| #9 color me surprised! Of course, I surprise easily, like when I awake and see Hillary(!) as a serious candidate for POTUS... |

| #8 Frank, it's not just any troll. It's our Tacoma Troll of Many Nyms! |

| #7 Aside from the nutjobs at the core of his support (conspiracy loons, anti-semites/jewbaiters, neonazis, unrealistic isolationists, etc), he has captured the "surrender now" and "Blame the US First" crowd that doesn't want to be tied up with Hillary and the Dems. Stormfront and Ron Paul and Dialy Kos and DU: they love bashing the US, and blaming it on "neocons" and Jews. There is a lot of commonality there. |

| #6 Paul's drawing a reeeeally large percentage of his base from the lunatic left - I saw a couple of our local trust-fund hippie types driving around with Ron Paul posters in the back windows of their station wagon. I think he's a bigger threat to the Quislingcrats, especially if they nominate the Hildebeest, who's anathema even to many leftists because of (1) her earlier "support" of the war effort, and (2) her naked lust for power. Yeah, I know, I know..."naked lust" and "HIllary Clinton" bring some images to mind that most normal folks wouldn't want to process. I partially agree with BrerRabbit's Ralph Nader analogy, but his votes are still likely to be sliced out of the Demonrats' hide. |

| #4 uh huh - I guess I'll just have to take the word of an anonymous troll and not even bother to vote. Damn. |

| #2 Meh. One of the facets of U.S. politics is that people with half-a-mind to run for office, usually do so. Now Paul versus Kucinich - that would be a circus. |

| #1 From this article I suppose hes the Ralph Nader of the Republicans. The left is funding him in hopes he go independant and shaves enough votes from the Repubs so they lose. Politics as usual. US presidential politics has become a circus. I for one am discouraged for our future. |
