Third Party Candidate(s)?

[BOSSHOG]

Heard on NPR today chatting about Cynthia McKinney and maybe Ralph Nader seeking the green party nomination. Also mentioned was Mayor Bloomberg and, of all people Lou Dobbs as maybe running. Maybe we'll get more clowns for the circus.

2. Ron Paul...

He's been using the GOOP primaries for exposure and cash...and his zombies are all but screaming for him to run on his own. As long as he can get into the GOOP debates and raise money off of 'em, he'll keep cards close to the vest, but I'll bet a bright shiny dime he bolts on or around April 15th.

3. About three times a week

there is a letter to the editor in the Gulfport paper blathering on about the greatness of Ron Paul. And his signs are all over south Mississippi and Louisiana. Even found his website stamped on a dollar bill. No doubt those letter writers are independent thinkers and haven't been encouraged to write them. :sarcasm:

4. I Call 'Em Paulbots

When the state Repugnican party imploded here a couple years ago, I saw a lot of movement by the Libertarians...and they had an affect on some of the smaller elections. I think this is the template we're seeing with Paul.

The other day, C-SPIN looks like they had enough of the Paulbots...the host read a poll showing Paul at 2$...a caller flamed in blaming "the media" for not getting Paul's message out...the host then asked how much money Paul raised on his last money bomb...the caller said $12 million...then he was asked if he donated...the caller says "yep, I gave a lot"...the host then asks if Paul has bought any TV time in any of the Super Tuesday states...the caller freezes...<click>

5. "Maybe we'll get more clowns for the circus."

With McKinney and Nader? C'mon BossHogg, exercise your imagination a bit more. Imagining either in a clown-getup is a natural response to hearing their names in any public or political context.

:silly: :spank: :woohoo: :rofl:

But yeah, the more the merrier. I'd love to see McKinney bitch-slap certain debate moderators - and by no means do I mean Woof or Tweety.

7. Except the odds of her getting into a debate are very low. But you are so right. It would be

a great show!

6. McKinney is interesting

She might be worth a second look.
