[Eric Blair 2084]

mnehrling’s point in post 285 is perfect.

Paul is even more Dovish than Mrs. Clinton, Osama and the Breck Girl. None of them would even commit to getting out of Iraq completely by the end of their first term. Ron Paul makes those 3 look like warmongering imperialists by comparison. Paul wants to pull the troops out not only in Iraq but everywhere in the world.

He certainly might attract those single issue voters for whom the Iraq War is their only concern if he runs on the LP ticket. Then like mn said, those againg hippie liberals or young voters will be exposed to the idea of limited government for a change.

..and just to clarify, it isn’t Paul’s limited government message I think will influence them as much as they are going to and watching Republican debates, things we never would see their types watch in the past.

That’s true, he is to the left of Clinton, Obama and Edwards on the war, which is why many people compare him to Kuchinich. And yes, he’ll pull anti-war voters from the far left and right if he runs third party
