Who is out there worth voting for now? Duncan is out, Fred is out. I find Paul very appealing VS Mitt Romney given the alternatives of Mike “Metamucill” Huckabee and Mcinsane...

Given the alternatives, Dr. Paul is the only one left that beats the percentages on my "conservative" criteria.

Guns? Check.

Property Rights? Check.

Free speech? Check.

Smaller government? Check.

Abortion? Check.

Lower taxes and less regulation? Check and check.

Closed border/sane immigration policy? Check.

About the only things I really disagree with Paul on all revolve around the War on Terror. This has been a huge issue for me and I considered it a "deal killer" as far as supporting Ron. I have read too much of him over the years to let the "news letter" thing from the mid-90's dissuade me on those grounds. There's no "fire" where that "smoke" looks like it's coming from.

I just don't think the guy could get the job done. I don't know. I know none of the others still in the race have a chance of interesting the "Base". If anything, they'll alienate the base and hand the whole thing to Hillary or Obama without much of a fight...
