It looks like the social conservatives are going to roll over and let Romney and Giuliani win the nomination, although they will certainly be complaining constantly because of it.

They’ll want a VP to pander to them, but is there a high profile social conservative that doesn’t have the baggage of a Huckabee?

The Democrats have accused Nader of taking GOP money because the Greens are to the Democrats what the Libertarians are to the GOP, “spoilers”.

Ralph Nader runs for office because elections are bought and thus in need of a non partisan consumer advocate. It is the Federal Elections Commission who insists one must be on the ballot to challange an election.

Ralph Nader has endorced Ron Paul for the GOP. But that does not mean Nader should stop being a consumer advocate and not challenge bought elections. I told Nader, I’d be happy to help him with ballot access because an independent candidate has the RIGHT to be on the ballot.

I’m sure Ron Paul would agree.

I think this is a deliberate hit-job on Ron Paul.

Please note the time, it is still before the debate.

Later.

Nader siphoned voters from the Democrats, Ron Paul is bring new voters into the Republican tent.

Ron Paul isn’t going to run third party. He isn’t going to run as an independent. I think he is going to start winning some primaries (probably not IA, but perhaps NH) and might even win the nomination.

I think Ron Paul has a chance, precisely because he is acceptable (although not first choice) of both so-cons, and fi-cons. In addition, he has huge cross-over appeal (as opposed to Rudy) with Democrats and Independents.

While not perfect, Ron Paul is the best compromise available. He has the organization (50,000+ meetup group members) and the money ($5 million today with a $12 million goal for 4th Qtr.)

Later.
