Ron Paul is suspending his campaign |
|
Said he wants to work towards getting a libertarian-leaning republican elected president.

4. Barr is a civil libertarian |
|
with a blind spot big enough to fit the female half of the human race.
He's also going to be much more of a draw than either party suspects.

9. The Paulistas are very much against McCain. |
|
If their idol endorses him, it's a question whether they'll follow or reject Paul Himself.

I guess his Estate Planning proved pretty successful.
Now the Ruse can end quietly.
I know, I know, that's almost beyond cynical.
