He has much less of a chance if people that share his beleifs do not support him.

I looked at one of the postings on the group site, a link to an article by James Ostrowski, who was going to be the LP gubernatorial nominee in New York in 1994 until he got derailed by Howard Stern. Ostrowski's analysis is amusing, I suppose, but rather out of touch with reality. I'm not sure why he's so dismissive of Giuliani or Gingrich as GOP nominees. He doesn't explain; he just says "Call Dr. Laura" to dismiss those two as he writes the usual "stuff" about McCain being the presumptive nominee before Paul. McCain has virtually no chance of getting the GOP nod; he's being pushed by the "mainstream" left-wing media because I guess he's the kind of Republican they like, precisely why he can't win the primary. As for Ron Paul, being anti-war is not a plus with the GOP faithful, especially with those who vote in primaries. Paul's hostility towards Israel will also hurt him in the Southern primaries, where support for Israel is stronger than among the Jewish community in New York. (That may be more a comment on how the Jewish community has changed, but it's true.) Paul also has no money, no name recognition, and being pro-drug legalization will probably not help him win many primaries either. If Paul actually runs, he might win a delegate or two in some states with rules making that easier, but I'd say Arnold Schwarzenegger has more of a chance and he isn't eligible. FWIW, the GOP usually goes with the frontrunner, and as of now, that is Giuliani. Doug > > Good evening, Travis! > > Travis Pahl wrote to everyone... > > > In case you all have not heard...
