Entry: Submission Accomplished Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/submission_accomplished#16566 Post contents: Pat Buchanan should run for president this year, sharing the ticket with Ron Paul. Paul has raised lots of money and can raise lots more. He is also organizing precinct captains in every electoral district in the country. Thus, a structure is in place. Plus, Pat and Ron are compatible on most issues. You may say third party candidacies are doomed to fail. But if the choice this year is between two pro-war candidates (Clinton and McCain), and if conservative and center-right voters find McCain and Clinton anathema (and most do), a ticket of Ron and Pat or Pat and Ron could attract massive support. And think what fun they could have educating the nation about the follies of empire and indebtedness and the practice of rubbishing your own currency. They could do it largely through heavy advertising in key media markets, as a conventional campaign of barnstorming around the country would no doubt be subjected to the same media blackout that has hobbled Paul's campaign to date. A Paul/Buchanan or Buchanan/Paul campaign could represent a historical turning point for the nation and the last best hope of the Republic's survival Sent at: 2008 10 07
