The Oregon primary is in two weeks and Ron Paul is still on the ballot. And considering that McCain can't beat Obama (short of stealing the election which I wouldn't put past the neocons), the Republican party may give Ron Paul a harder look at convention time than anybody is expecting. Ron Paul has a better chance of beating Obama than McCain does. McCain's stance on the war is directly contrary to 2/3 of the US populace, by many different polls. McCain is showing his age and making gaffes in public speaking that reveal his ignorance and memory problem. He also has a foul temper. Ron Paul, on the other hand, is civilized and has a good grasp of domestic, foreign and monetary policy. A race between Ron Paul and Obama would benefit our nation greatly because it would bring the issues of true import to the front of the discussion. Both Ron Paul and Obama are men who care and are willing to discuss ideas instead of just repeating talking points. So yes, I am still supporting Ron Paul. Obama does not need my support. Without competition from Ron Paul he has smooth sailing to the whitehouse. So I hope that this nation gets to choose between the greater of two great men, instead of the lesser of evils.
