[smartpeople4ronpaul]

-John Edwards- the communist

[BULBASAUR!]

Hillary Clinton.

[wgadget]

no brainer

[constitutional]

He can take all of them at once.

But I want to see Obama Vs. Paul. I want obama to be shredded to pieces by Ron Paul. It would be awesome awesome to watch! LOL

Obama is worse than Clinton IMHO.

[freedom-maniac]

Hillary. It will be the ultimate show down of Freedom vs. Communism. Plus she'll be the easiest to beat.

[freedom-maniac]

Obama is worse than Clinton IMHO.

How?

[Yom]

Hilldog's the easiest to beat. Like freedom-maniac said: Freedom vs. Communism/ Decentralized power vs. Authoritarianism.

Plus the newsletters thing might get really out of hand if we face Obama.

[constitutional]

How?

First tell me, how is Obama different than Clinton on stances.

Obama will NOT end the war. He is worse than Clinton on foreign policy.

Oh and Clinton supports the minority group I'm from, that's why I support her. Yes, I'm being a dumb ass greedy bastard but so are other god-damn catholics, evangelical and mormons who are just voting for their "own" candidates. Yes, I'm pissed, mad and angry.

[smartpeople4ronpaul]

I agree with Clinton being weakest, but I thought that J.E. would be in the lead.

Granted. If I saw a kraut running for president, he'd have to be a pretty big fascist for me not to like him.

[colecrowe]

Clinton if he gets the Nomination. Clinton and McCain if he goes unaffiliated independent. McCain I'm pretty sure about, because so many conservatives are totally against him because of immigration.

Not that a pro war candidate has 1% chance of winning--EVEN agianst Hillary. But with a weaker candidate like McCain it would be easier to steal Republican votes away from him. Romney would definitely be stronger than McCain--Huckabee would be stronger than McCain also (because of the amnesty thing again).

And Hillary would be 10 times easier to run against than Obama (maybe Edwards, too) because she is so hated. My father and my father-in-law BOTH say that, if Ron Paul never existed, they would vote for a Republican over Hillary even though they are against the war (they would however vote for Obama or Edwards--if RP didn't exist, of course). Just because they hate Hillary so much.

[Bradley in DC]

By my calculus (who knows :rolleyes:), we beat Hilary but lose to Obama.

[Goldwater Conservative]

I guarantee you that most of the neocons who loathe Ron Paul over foreign policy will hold their noses to vote against and stop Hillary Clinton. Between an "isolationist" conservative and an "internationalist" socialist, both of whom would run on a platform of withdrawal from Iraq, it's a no-brainer even for clowns like Sean Hannity. Sure, the higher-up neocons are a different story, but the rank-and-file, who really have just been duped, know where to draw the line.

Neither the cultural conservatives or the fiscal conservatives would be turned off Paul (indeed, they love him on those issues), and he would still be able to draw away some Democrats and be competitive with independents, which is a recipe for Republican success.

I hate the race card being played as much as anyone, but I don't think it's fair to say Barack Oama is "the fake racism victim". I haven't heard him play the race card once, I hear all that from the Clinton campaign.

[familydog]

How is Obama a fake racism victim?

I only vote for people with blue eyes since I have blue eyes. Seriously.

[zakkubin]

He would trounce any of them but Hillary would be the easiest to beat. Obama takes some of the youth away from Paul...

[paulaholic]

Mike Gravel.

He could still win, you know. ;)

Yeah, his momma's white. (Interestingly enough she's a very distant cousin of mine. Even weirder I'm also a very distant cousin of Romney.)

[Live Free or Die]

Definitely Hillary. Ron could easily school any of them. But Hillary's platform is the most egregiously dangerous to our Constitution.

[kotetu]

I think we want to see Clinton as the opponent so Paul can CRUSH her.
