Rig--

It's just that when you said you would "happily" vote for Hillary, the hypocrisy meter went off, considering your not-well-concealed views on religion.

And knowing your views on illegal immigrants, you also may be interested to know that Hillary is now engaged in a big push to win Hispanic votes. Now I wonder what that might entail. Something tells me that might not completely meet with your approval.

Hope you're still "happy" to vote for her.

Ron Paul:

1) You may not be seeing him as a candidate, but some posters are putting him forward as a potential VP. Caveat emptor.

2) As a Canadian, you may not be aware of the way interest groups interact in the US. But if Paul is pulling votes, he may well do it from anti-war Democrats in states that's allowed in primaries. Also, his anti-war stance is not pulling many at all from McCain. If people expect that "victory" is possible in Iraq, they will not be swayed by Paul. So he is splitting whatever anti-war or libertarian vote there might be in Republican circles. McCain is not even close to a Libertarian. Therefore Paul is helping the strongest pro-war voice, McCain. Since he is also the strongest opponent for any Democrat, this is not helpful.

3) I'm fully aware of Huckabee. Several days ago I pointed out that his populist appeal would evaporate when the details of his proposed tax plan came out.
