Leave a comment if you want... tell them they should have included Ron Paul. He generally polls at about 8% nationally, and that has been growing.

Wonder how much of that 17% who voted 'no preference' would've given their vote to RP had he been on the list...:rolleyes:

What has John Thune ever done to deserve being mentioned as a candidate? At least the others have done something or are some sort of high-ranking member of Congress. This guy is just a more conservative than average Senator from South Dakota. He is ranking member on two subcommittees, that's it. DeMint would be more noteworthy.

Don't be silly. Why would they include Ron Paul? He is a outspoken Austrian and critic of the Fed, they are Keynesians / mercantilists. To encourage Ron Paul to run for President in any way would be a repudiation of their own views.

Its obvious they can't make the excuse that "oh he would have no chance" while at the same time including names I'm sure at least 99% of Americans are completely unfamiliar with.

I posted a comment under 'Publii'... 'Publius' was taken. Ironic, I know, considering my positions ;)

The blackout campaign continues. It won't work this time, though, you monsters!
