I actually got there first this time, but your heading is clearer.

Thanks for the good news. I watch the three dickheads on Fox's "Campaign Confidential" (courtesy of my Roku player - Fox gets no direct money from me as I have to satellite or cable). They yap on and on about this mythical candidate (currently Jeb Bush) who appeals to Democrats and independents but mainly the Republicans (of course - if you want to beat Obama). They claim to have this no-BS approach with oodles of insider knowledge yet they overtly rule out Ron Paul because of his "libertarian" base. Sadly, the libertarian base is rarely even a tenth of what Ron Paul's base is. But it is clear that the only thing keeping Ron Paul from dominating these matchups are the progressive wing of the Republican party. It is not the "hawks", but statists who are in favor of every big government agency and agenda.

Anyway, I expect all but a few Republicans who are on the take - Washington and defense industry insiders - would elect Ron Paul over Obama, they just don't know it. Also, lots more Democrats and independents would break for Paul too with a little education.
