Let's get excited about 2008!

Hey! What the? Where did all those tomatoes and empty beer cans come from?

I'm not gonna get all crazy and really start talking about the 2008 National Elections. To be sure you are getting pummeled with this on a daily basis...Hillary, Obama, Rudy...Gah!

Anyway, I pass on some news about Ron Paul(R)- Texas. I've mentioned him here before. I really don't think he will be around next Summer but he is going to make the mainstream dog and pony show candidates start actually saying something.
Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, the outspoken libertarian White House hopeful often dismissed by his rivals and the punditocracy as a fringe candidate, was all smiles Wednesday as he bandied about the first-in-the-nation primary state, New Hampshire.

"It's pretty exciting!" he told ABC News.

Long treated at debates as the cantankerous old uncle you don't want to get started talking about the gold standard, Paul had big news. Announcing a relatively astounding haul -- $5.1 million -- in the fundraising quarter that ended Sunday, Paul is knocking on the door of the top-tier candidates in the race.more
