Dover, N.H. - Before her recent leap into presidential politics, Kelly Halldorson, in bell-bottoms and Birkenstocks, would have struck most folks as little more than a slightly crunchy soccer mom. She drives a Chevy Suburban, home-schools her three children and, in free moments between her kids' ballet and hockey practice, does Pilates.

Then, in July, she watched George Stephanopoulos interview Texas Congressman Ron Paul, the maverick Republican presidential candidate. And her life changed.

Kelly Halldorson, in bell-bottoms and Birkenstocks

Cindy Sheehan wardrobe.

In other words, a typical Paulestinian.

[CJ Wolf]

Home schooler.

[CJ Wolf]

Drives a large SUV.

Kids Play Hockey.

Plenty of hippy moonbats homeschool.

[wideawake]

Cindy Sheehan is chauffeured around in an SUV, as is Nancy Pelosi.

Paulestinian

Is that suppose to be clever?

[wideawake]

She lives in NH. It’s the law.

[Petronski]

It IS clever. Just not as clever as “Paulbearers.”

Halldorson's worldview, she says, took shape after the 1994 earthquake that devastated nearby Northridge. Her aunt, Ellen Fitzmaurice, a strong-willed libertarian, gave Halldorson Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and ranted against what she saw as the wasteful federal response to the disaster.

Halldorson left Los Angeles convinced that people should rely on each other, not the government, when things get rough.

She's a little nutty, but if she has individualist libertarian politics defined by an objectivist worldview, she's good people, even if her taste in wardrobe leaves something to be desired.

[wideawake]

No, it is supposed to be a descriptor. Which it is.

[newgeezer]

Home schooler.

She doesn't seem like a typical home schooler, though.

Does she have a husband? If so, what does he think of Ron Paul?

It better be; it cost them a lot of money to hire the "Chimpy McBushitler" guy from Democratic Underground as a joke writer.

[wideawake]

That used to be good enough, before 9/11.

[roses of sharon]

Poor woman.

ROTFL! Hey, just like Ron Paul, she can’t make up her mind as to who she is?

Birkenstocks AND a Suburban?

Easily led

Doesn't think for herself

Gullible

[CJ Wolf]

She has a husband and kids.

IIRC, the Randians are NOT anti-war.
