------------------------------

Other thoughts:
- I wish I had counted the number of times Cooper had to call "time" on each candidate.
- Dr.Paul's video was BY FAR the only video that was not contrived.
- What was up with Cooper not referring to Dr.Paul as "Dr.Paul"? Seemed disrespectful.

Love the blog and the site in general - just found you - glad I did.
