Excellent, excellent points. Do you mind if I post (and credit) your run down of the republicans on my blog?
I'm right there with you on Ron Paul, but this also brings up another issue. Equal time for all canidates. While I understand it's a difficult thing to do at the same time there is an alarming trend of major media outlets trying to make sure certain candidates get more face time. Did you watch the most recent CNN Republican debate? Both Hukabee, and more so Paul were consistantly cut off and ignored, despite the supposed 'no rules' format. Personally I think Hukabee and Paul are nuts, but as a nominee they have the right to equal time. It makes you wonder who really decides who are canidates are... the public or the media?
