Entry: Ron Paul Update Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ron_paul_update#17763 Post contents: I really don't think he is up for the job - he always mentioned his apprehensiveness before his becoming so popular and this is not the frame of mind of someone who really wants to be in the WH. I think the guy is great but the only redeeming thing about his campaign now is how he has opened the eyes of so many to the value of strict constitutionalism, libertarianism and REAL conservatism rather than lip service. His high caliber character is mis-matched by how his "TV persona" came across from the debates -- he was eloquent but the media's job of effectively excluding him has made a third party run have very little chance - besides, he'd look like a flip-flopper since said he would not run as a third party. He'd have no effect on McCain regardless and McCain's fate - barring surprises - perhaps primarily rests with who'd be the democrat -- Hillary might galvanize the GOP (with a lower probability of a whide margin in Nov) while Obama would be a far more definitive win over McCain. At this point Obama - given continued momentum - will win in Nov easily imo. If Paul and his campaign had been viable I'd vote for him but now its Obama for his antiwar stance. @ Capp - I posted at Justin's "March" piece a retraction of my post to you Peace Sent at: 2008 09 07
