Huckabee is going to do well in the Deep South and the Midwest - people there put a strong emphasis on "traditional values" and any politician who feeds them what they want to hear will win their votes (see Ronald Reagan, 1980s). I don't think Paul has a chance to win New Hampshire - that's going to be a battleground for Romney and Giuliani.

But what do I care....just keep kicking ass, Obama!!! *beer*

When did Ron Paul ever jump into the race? I mean it was all Clinton, Obama, Guilliani, hopefully Al Gore...and then ZZZOMGsh Paul!!!

Paul often talks about jumping into the race, but almost always it's been as a third party candidate. He ran in 1988 as a Libertarian, finishing third in the popular vote.

As a Republican member of the House, I think he knew this could be the best year for him to try to get the Republican nomination. Many true conservatives are upset at how the Bush administration has handled a lot of things-- increased military presence around the world, the potential for an almost-immediate erosion of personal freedoms via the Patriot Act, and few to no spending cuts while reducing taxes, and moving power back to the states and away from a bloated federal government, among other things.

Paul's message started as a grassroots campaign among libertarians and was picked up by many other moderates, conservative democrats, liberal republicans, and others who hate what has happened in the past 16 years under Clinton and Bush (and really even further back than that).

He's been well-known in political circles for a long time. It's just that the media has never cared and frankly wants to see him lose. The media isn't liberal. The media isn't conservative. The media just wants to preserve the status quo, no matter how bad it is.

So I was watching CNN and they went to a Huckabee rally live where he said that he doesnt trust the government or the corporations and he was the lone Republican that wanted people in charge of themselves (didn't he say he wants a federal ban on smoking?). And some reporter was saying how that rhetoric will do well with libertarians in the "Live Free or Die State."
I just want to know, how does he keep getting away with it?

Because people have no attention span whatsoever these days.

Partially that and... hey look at that bird over there!

Oh sorry. Where was I?

I like Clinton...but I'd like her even better if she was divorced.

But I've been wearing an Obama '08 button for about a year now.... *shades*
