They post 10 choices and like everything else, everyone talks about the card they weren't dealt. I'm not saying anything is wrong with discussing Paul but just sense the disatisfaction about most things in general. I just opine the policies of the govt are basically a consensus boulder (consensus of the academics, the monied, etc, not Joe six pack) and we only get to pick the messenger.

Then why not include just one option - the cookie-cutter Establishment Shill

We've only got one choice anyway.

What does it matter if massive Government and police-state law is handed down by Hillary or Mitt?
 
I'm not sure the country is ready for ron paul. Talking to politico kids straight from the NJ Governor's Ball tonight (clinton was the big atendee), a life experienced 64 year old black man, a 30-ish white philosophy teacher from a nearby city... etc, ppl who strongly identify as democrats... I think they identify more by their disdain for bush than as 'democrats', but just don't realize it.

It seems like most americans are galvanized against bush's effectiveness as a leader, but monetary inflation is a complex issue most people don't understand or can't express well. It's bad, but not imperative at these levels. there's also a regressive relationship between households suffering significantly from inflation and their liklihood to have a voice.

It seems just slow enough to persist. Most households dissapear before they organize and find real representation
 
this ron paul seems to be very different from almost
all other american politicians ... would be great for the
country. but unlikely either. people are not smart ...
 
i guess i dont understand why ron paul is not included in this poll

was i hallucinating, that he was in the debates?

the poll of 'how you would vote at this time' is 100% hypothetical, because it's in the context of 'if ron paul were not in the race', which simply isnt the case

the arbitrary exclusion of one candidate completely invalidates the poll, as voter's preference and issue are very complex. There's really no way to know were the ron paul voters would go, unless you had a poll that asked 'if you are a ron paul voter, who is your second choice?'
 
How about Henry Paulson as a possible? He's got to be the most powerful man left standing in this admin.

Country desperate for leaders we can look up to - - not down at.
