Hopefully Paul places second in Nevada tonight.

Why?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think that's expected.  Nevada seems like territory for him and Romney alone.

I think it would be a good move to have open primaries only in those years when both parties' nominations are contested.

Agreed.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Strangely enough, right after posting that I heard Buddy Roemer on CNN talking about his campaign to win the Democratic nomination for president.

Ah.  He was ranting about Wall Street owning the White House so I figured him for looney left.

Oh no.  The whole point of his run is campaign finance reform.

Personally I quite like him.  I wanted him and Johnson (after all their backgrounds about as credible as Romney or Huntsman or Mike Gravel who got to debate last year) to surge at some point, but they weren't even allowed to debate :(

What's the deal with all the people rooting for Paul?  Am I not giving you people enough crazy?

Paul is the lesser evil in the race since Johnson and Huntsman dropped.

While his anti-Wall Street stance is admirable, like Paul he has too many goofy anti-NATO/pro-isolationism stuff going on.
