Yeah, I’m not sure who Brown is (in response to the first couple of candidates)
I think the candidate most like Sanford (in representing the strict fiscal conservatism that Sanford talked about) that isn’t Sanford is John Kuhn. But I also like Bostic and Grooms.

I am a life-long Republican and I voted for Ron Paul in the primary. I also voted for Romney in the general election but those of you calling Paul supporters “Paulbots” aren’t helping Romney one bit. Sure there are some who will never be convinced but that isn’t all of us. I have worked hard to persuade fellow Paul supporters to join the team and have convinced many but this kind of divisive rhetoric including the derogatory word “Paulbot” is counter-productive and hurts Mitt Romney.
No, have more faith in the market. If gas goes to $15 per gallon, people in other areas of the country will drive trucks of gas into those areas and come up with a market based solution to sell. High prices in a market affected by a natural disaster send signals out to the larger economy to divert resources into the places hit hard by disaster. When government steps in and stops that process, the result is shortages and chaos and people are worse off.
“The government should have a plan to get gas to the stations or citizens. Even if prices were allowed to be hiked, there would still be people unable to get gas, because they couldnt afford it.”
Get government out of the way. The free market can handle it. As conservatives, we need to have more faith in the market than that.
If the market price rises to $15 per gallon, then let it. That will send a signal into the market place to producers to divert gas into that region (even if it’s a higher expense and trouble to do so). Putting price controls in effect has the exact opposite effect and means that there will worsen the supply problem.
1) Dick Morris seems like he is always wrong about predictions so I’m not really concerned about what he thinks will happen.
2) How have the polling firms that continued to poll adjusted their methodology to compensate for heavy Democrat urban northeast voters being unreachable by phone for polls? Honestly, I wouldn’t put much faith into polls the last few days. I bet a number of these pollsters have used their “judgment” to weight Democrat responses more to “make up” for Northeast urban Democrats who would have answered before.
3) Let’s work like we’re behind and hope we’re ahead. If we win, great. If we lose, then it is what it is. Either way, press on.
