the base will turn out for the opportunity to beat Obama.

Indeed they will. They won’t be voting for the pro-choice Republican. They’ll be voting for the anti-abortion candidate of the newly formed Party of Life, which will dwarf the rump Republican Party.

Or have I fallen through a looking glass? What world is this?

If the convention nominates a pro-choice candidate, we’ll see excitement like we’ve never seen excitement.

At least one exit poll showed Santorum losing the Catholic vote to Romney. Do you think his dissing JFK could have made a big difference?

Santorum winning both strong Tea Party supporters and those who strongly oppose the Tea Party in Michigan.

Not nearly as strange as the anti-war voters supporting McCain in 2008.

I’m still puzzling over why Michelle Bachmann didn’t make a comeback after Perry’s collapse, nor after Cain’s.

I forgot, I had one more point about how Paul’s speeches differ from those of most mainstream politicians. Most of what he has to say is substantive, about the policy changes we believe in and get excited about. There’s not much ‘apple pie is great’ and ‘the trees are the right height’.

Paul has been a hero for civil liberties in the post 9-11 era. IMO that more than makes up for decades old newsletters.
