(Originally posted in The Nation as "More Than The Money Primary" in John Nichol's blog: http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters?bid=45&pid=210960 )
Brief mention of RP at the end:
"It is certainly why, despite what the pundits would have us believe, we should continue to treat the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee as a serious contender. We'd be wise to do the same for Kucinich, Gravel and Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, as well as for Republicans who have more ideas than dollars, such as Texas congressman Ron Paul. Big money has done a lot of ruin our politics, but it should not dictate who gets attention at a point when the only primaries that should matter are still months away."
