majorityrights.com— Ron Paul leads all other candidates by a more than comfortable margin in the online polls and is hardly even considered a ?dark horse? candidate by the offline ?scientific? polls.

"Lincoln would probably have had a much better legacy if that nasty conflict btw the states had not of occured. And we would likely be a much more tolerant strong and free country."Lincoln would never have won if some of those states hadn't already left the union... basic history people.And you're probably one of those people who'd think I'm stupid for saying that Bush is comparable to Lincoln in many, many ways.
"To clarify: He will lose the Republican primaries if he favors gun control or abortion and probably if he doesn't come out against gay marriage."He'll lose every decent American's vote if he favors gun control or abortion... probably not the case with gay marriage, though.
Nevada's a "wild card" this year.. but I don't think the Internet's conspiracy theorizing Libertarians have the numbers to get Ron Paul many (if any) delegates... even there
I'm not going to "explain you" anything. If you can't manage proper grammar, it is doubtful you'd understand proper statistical sampling and biases. Look it up on google.
Re. the Nixon-Kennedy debate: I used to show the tape of it to all my U.S. History classes and without exception, every single college student in every single class for the 25 years I was teaching was shocked by what they saw. Every single one - having been brought up on the canard that Nixon lost the election because he looked nervous and shaky in the debate, while Kennedy looked young, healthy, strong, self-assured, and "vigorous" - was astounded to see that Nixon looked just fine ... and indeed looked much better than Kennedy, who was the one who looked frail, sickly and shaky. I then showed them the tape of the Kennedy-loving Cronchite & Cronies at the "post-game" report, gushing about how great and self-assured Kennedy looked and how nervous and shaky Nixon was. In other words, the pundits created the TV audience's perceptions after the fact.For an encore, I'd show the class the actual election returns, in which Nixon actually wins the popular vote by over 50,000 votes - and then showed how the official high-school history books add the Dixiecrat vote to Kennedy's to put him 50,000 ahead. I also would show how Daley and Johnson succeeded in stealing Illinois and Texas by (fully documented) massive vote fraud, giving Kennedy the Electoral College. As an epilogue, the kids would learn how Kennedy actually ran to the RIGHT of Nixon -- which wasn't very hard! -- and that his presidency was far from a "Liberal golden age": indeed, Kennedy got the U.S. into Vietnam, created the Green Berets, used the CIA to assassinate problematic foreign leaders, manufactured "the missile gap", authored MAD and the strategic missie arms race, and spearheaded the largest tax-cut in U.S. history. (He also had been a big supporter of Joe McCarthy when in they were in the Senate together, and RFK was on McCarthy's staff.) The class would then see how the image of JFK as the darling and fallen hero of the New Left was a complete fiction (rehabilatation?) authored in '66-68 by Bobby as part of his Presidential bid.MORAL OF THE STORY: History is not written by the winners --Those who write the history win!!!

Mike Gravel '08;)
nygrissplzMay 6, 2007
Gravel vs. Ron Paul would be 50x better.Gravel is like the Democratic Ron Paul in many respects, it seems.

nygrissplz, I'm already biased since I live in Chicago. How are Gravel and Paul doing in the rest of the country?
nygrissplzMay 6, 2007
Not quite sure what you mean by that but I live in Chicago myself. I'm not an Obama fan. Is there something wrong with me? Nope.
