On the other hand, the Democrats do have change candidates in Obama and Edwards. One of them will emerge from Iowa as the clear challenger to Hillary Clinton. And he will need anti-war independent and Republican votes to help overcome Hillary's lead among Democrats in New Hampshire.
We don't want those voters to have a protest vote with the Republicans. Paul gives them one. So rather than challenging and forcing change within his own party, Paul's candidacy will have the opposite effect. He denies Obama or Edwards a crucial bloc of votes, thereby helping to realize the Republican wet dream of Hillary Clinton as the Republican unifier in the general election.
