What point are you trying to make with these breathless, up-to-the-minute reports? I honestly don't see how it meaningfully advances any discussion.

But I can keep a keen eye on the contenders. Barack Obama seems to be the media darling at the moment, and Border's bookstore now has copies of his book displayed everywhere. Maybe Barack is charismatic, but I don't know why Andrew Sullivan is so infatuated with a Democratic candidate who is anything but a conservative. I’d love to see Ron Paul get more coverage.

This frankly pisses me off. He's just not getting the respect he deserves; he keeps getting called the GOP's Mike Gravel (aka crazy nutjob). I may not agree with everything Ron Paul says, but IMO he's much more of a legitimate candidate than say Sam Brownback or Tom Tancredo.

I cited them, saying that perhaps he should give more serious attention to Ron Paul. I mentioned having written him twice before about Dr. Paul. It was very weird to see that post and video so soon after my email went out, let me tell you. But it is definitely ENCOURAGING, at the same time.
