You mean like most of them?

[Huck]

Definitely. The socons don’t like Paul because he truly adheres to limited gubmint and federalism. The neocons don’t like him because he rejects Wilsonian foreign policy. The conservative movement, when you pick it apart, is not really that conservative, or at least, not really that interested in original intent.

Why would Palin pick a neophyte like Paul to run with?

She has a totally different foreign policy and military understanding than Paul. She wouldn't want to touch his views on those subjects with 20' pole.

Might do them some good. That being said, speculation on running mates is way too overoptimistic. President Reagan tried it first with Richard Schweiker in 1976. Note how incendiary the article title and contents are. Future President Reagan had already lost the primaries in terms of delegates when he threw this Hail Mary[1].

We're going to be attacked no matter what and this has gone on all of my life time.

[1] I am hoping that someone comes out with a book comparing the Republican 1976 campaign to the 2008 Democrat campaign.
