Why bother with this argument at all?
It's going to be between Rudy and Hillary next year and we all know it.
All these debates, ostensibly between divergent political cultures, are taking place on Salon.com, so nobody here should think for a second that any of us, pro or anti-Paul, represent the average voter.
And the average voter isn't going to vote for this dude.
So enjoy the debate, I admit it's made for some interesting reading.
But Ron Paul doomed his candidacy to failure when he refused to launch an independent bid and stated his intention to stick with the GOP.
And the GOP is a top-down organization, and they have made it plain and clear they're not interested in this guy.
If Paul launched a third-party bid, he could use his internet coffers to ensure that his message survives beyond the primaries.
As it stands now, that's not going to happen.
And nobody please label me anti-Ron Paul. To say that I feel ambivalent about the upcoming election is an understatement. But I'm not betting on that horse, sir.
