The Wall Street Journal just ran an opinion article titled “Ron Beats Rudy?” In addition to candidates and other politician types, it mentions four people by name who have been instrumental in the Paul campaign in New Hampshire: Jim Forsythe, Keith Murphy, Kate Rick, and Jared Chicoine. I’ll give the … Continue reading
To the Sentinel: I hear a lot of campaign news relating to polling figures, fundraising, name recognition, or other elements of political action.

I recently learned that Fox is so afraid of Ron Paul that they’re singling him out for exclusion in their upcoming (January 6th) candidate forum in New Hampshire.

I rode United Airlines from Washington Dulles to London Heathrow a couple nights ago. I wound up sitting next to an Irish guy who works for the State Department. He was nice and talkative. It didn’t take long for the topic of conversation to turn to government. The next night, … Continue reading
Great Time Magazine article which you can digg here: http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/TIME_The_Ron_Paul_Revolution Funny line from it: Representative Tom Tancredo, another long-shot G.O.P. candidate, tells me that after a debate in New Hampshire, one of his staffers walked up to a guy in a shark costume and asked him if he was a … Continue reading
