I wonder why Rep. RON PAUL was left off the list.....very sad, indeed.

I hope he will be allowed to participate in the GOP debate later this week, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Establishment candidates would refuse to show up if he isn't excluded.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Because he is libertarian in Republican clothing -- if we wanted a Libertarian candidate, we'd change the name of the party. You like/want Ron Paul, more power to ya, buddy, but Republicans want a conservative this time, not a libertarian.

It took Tommy Thompson, McCain and Huckabee together to tie None! Ha!

Obama and Clinton are not part of the poll either. The Poll was of REPUBLICAN canidates not Libertarians, Fringe Canidates or Democrats. Ron Paul qualifys as both a Libertarian and a Fringe Canidate.

[Lubbock]

Ron Paul is from the Lunitic Fringe.

That would make him a "fringe" candidate.

So how did McCain slip in?

Don't get me wrong; I don't think he's a bad Presidential candidate. In fact, I think he's the best candidate the Democrats have run since JFK.

But he sure as Hell ain't a Republican.

That's not really fair though. They were outspent.

Because he's a Teddy Kennedy lib.
