Most of the other candidates are out of money.
Soon it will be only Romney, McCain, and Paul.
The time is coming for them to pick their VP picks. I am willing to bet the first might happen before Super Tuesday in an attempt to get a bump.
The buzz I have heard is around the following potential picks
Mark Sanford, Gary Johnson, Judge Andrew Napolitano, John Stossel
Of them all, I think that Judge Napolitano would be the best pick, from a pure ticket perspective.
I know his foreign policy isn't popular on FR and this post will likely attract a lot of noise from a handful of people dedicated to shouting the Doctor down.
However - he is a Republican candidate, he has the funds to go until the RNC, and it will be time to announce his VP pick soon. Before anyone suggests it, it's not going to be Kucinich. ;)
So think about this - he is the only candidate left in the race (assuming Fred drops out later today, which he likely is doing), Paul is the only candidate left that is anti-amnesty, pro-2nd amendment, anti-abortion, and for limiting the size and scope of government.
Like I said - I'm hoping it's the Doctor and the Judge.
Anyone else hearing any noise?
And you served when and where?
It doesn’t matter. TehRon doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in the hot spot of winning.
Men's room attendant at Disneyland.
I note you ignore Paul's cut-n-run remarks.
So you were too much of a coward to serve?
I guess Matt Hale’s not available?
No, just really busy with attending the men's room at Disneyland.
Take exception all you want, Paul's remarks are those of a coward.
Ron Paul was drafted...and never went to Vietnam...He was a flight surgeon and served until 1964...
Oh I don't know. I was a Flight Surgeon in the Air Force from 1978-1991. It didn't take alot of courage to get through Medical School, join the USAF and go to Flight School in Texas. Depending upon what type of aircraft Dr. Paul flew in, it was no more hair-raising than flying Delta.
Precisely what did Dr. Paul do during his Air Force Career that was so courageous?
I take exception to a person that has not
served calling one who has a coward!
I believe our troops should be brought back to the United States without delay.
If so, you may be a coward too.
What? No love for Rocky Patel?!?!
With all the republican candidates dropping out at such a fast pace, this vanity may have to be bumped to headline news in a few weeks.
I'm pretty sure that Dr. Paul is not a coward.
On the other hand, I'm just about positive that someone who posts slander and insults thru the anonymity of the internet is the very definition of one
How do you explain this statement by Paul?
I believe our troops should be brought back to the United States without delay.
Seems pretty clear to me.

Thats very sweet of you to say.
On a related note, I'd like for him to start addressing some of the "important" cabinet positions. Maybe if he suggested appointing pro-empire type persons for State and Defense, he would ease the (small) minds of potential supporters who are wary of his non-interventionalist beliefs.
In general, I wish he'd stop campaigning like someone who doesn't have a shot at the nomination. I know he, and most of his supporters, didn't think we had a snowball's chance when this thing started, but we do now.
It's time to stop being as inflamitory as possible in his statements and time to start speaking like a politician - when you address a nation of gullible sheep, you want to use a soothing baaaaa-baaaaa instead of telling the bitter truth in the most clear and direct of terms.
I'm not saying that he should lie - he probably doesn't know how anyway. I'm just saying that he should tone it down some. We're going to find out soon enough, as a nation, that we're bankrupt and balkanized at home, and overextended overseas.
The explanation is very simple... he believes that our troops should be brought back to the United States without delay - a belief that I, and apparently the majority of my fellow Americans hold too.
Let Freedom Ping?
Question is who would make a good VP for Ron Paul
