Quote by: Technosoul  Also you are not keeping up with my last endorsment. I am now supporting Obama for President if Clinton can be the Vice President.
Otherwise I am sitting on the fense between them along with the 50-50 population of the Democratic majority. |
Jumping to the winning side huh?

Ron Paul should demand more debates with McCain as the last underdog of his party still in action.

Why the hell would McCain debate him? Your "new" candidate won't even debate Clinton and they are still in a contested race. RP is in the race in spirit only. Heck that was what he was like from the beginning. Ron Paul has som very very valid points (that is if the porker practices what he preached), but RP was never really in the race. Still only 14 delegates! That is well dwarfed by Huckabee and Romney. 2 guys that have been out of the debate for a while. On top of that McCain wrapped up the nomination a while back.

Ron Paul knows that his base support is largely young people who are somewhat educated and attending collages and universities.

It wasn't that large after-all and the well educated part is very debatable.

He shares that base with Obama and is not about put down any group that is for a change from the same-o same-o politics in Washington DC.
|
They are polar opposites politically except on the war; therefore, if they share a base, then either RP voters weren't educated or considered him only a 1 trick pony.

However they differ somewhat on how to change our direction, and it would be super-great if we could have a one-on-one debate between Obama and Paul to see the diversity or the unity of those two men would result as being, and who would win popular support. That debate would be aired in a collage or university and young people would be the only ones allowed to ask questions. Such a debate would have a giant audiance and would become a legendary debate for u-tube. (you tube).

You understand nothing about RP if you think they only differed "somewhat." Would Obama been OK with doing away with the federal reserve and going back to the gold standard? Would Obama have been alright with cutting all social welfare programs? Would Obama be alright with giving up his dreams of UHC? Would Obama be alright with remaining idle in the face of the genocide in Sudan? Just to name a few.

Us old folks might learn a few things via such a debate. That would be the most exciting and interesting debate of all time.

Your mind is set on the D's! McCain nor the Republicans would benefit so its would be stupid for him to commit to it.

Meanwhile Obama is now a little ahead of Clinton in winning the Guam primary - but the largest town is still counting votes and so we are still waiting that one out.

4 delegates is not going to change anything and it turned out to be a tie!
It is only good for a moral victory
