Ron Paul is a real conservative, so much so that he isn't spending money on his own campaign. What will he do with all those donations? Why do I think he'll end up like Alan Keyes, and spend all of those donations on himself when it is all over. I'd like to see or read otherwise.

Wake up America, Go and Vote! Ron Paul in 08! snip KOOK...a doodle DOOOOOOOOO! In ML baseball there was the so-called "Mendoza Line". It was the batting average of a journeyman utility player that hit a little over . 200 for a long time. Anyway, that was enough to keep him in the ML playing. Now if a new player came along and couldn't hit over what Mendoza was doing it meant likely he was going to get cut. Over that line and he'd live to play another week. In politics, I am proposing the "Perot Line". What that means is that if any independent or trailing Republican (like Huckabee or Paul) or Democrat (like Edwards was or anyone other than Clinton and Obama) can't keep enough percentage points as did Perot at the same time during the 2000 election that they are in the same boat as ML players WRT to the Mendoza Line. Does Paul in Feb 2008 have as much support as did Perot in Feb 2000? |

Look at the scandals including the current one involving steriods where several ML players were brought into Congress. Sorry, say what you will about baseball but it has always been intertwined with politics. The president throwing out the first pitch and all that. Heck, W better throw out the first pitch this year as DC has a new ballpark! And he used to be part owner of the Texas Rangers!!! Besides this really is more about statistics and how a baseball stat can be applied to a political stat. An analogy. |
