Ron Paul Presidency Is Becoming Easier And Easier To Imagine

As a registered Democrat, I'm not happy to imagine a Ron Paul presidency. The Texas congressman is a Republican, after all, and a fairly conservative one at that. But his strong stance against the war in Iraq makes the possibility of a Ron Paul presidency an ever-stronger possibility as the outcome of next year's election. How? The other Republican candidates are beginning to ever more eagerly tear away at each other's throats, with Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani attacking each other ever more fervently and everyone, it seems, ganging up on poor old Fred Thompson. Meanwhile, Paul keeps plugging away at his core message: Pull out of Iraq as soon as possible, slash Pentagon spending, and turn our attention to America's internal problems. That doesn't make a Ron Paul presidency seem so bad, does it? As the other Republicans eliminate each other from the race in 2008, the possibility of a Ron Paul presidency could keep rising. Then, pitted against a more liberal Democratic candidate next November, he could appeal to the nation's strong anti-war sentiments while also assuaging the fears of conservative America. The result: a Ron Paul presidency starting in January 2009.

I agree with you, but not for the same reasons you give. Ron is, first of all, a Libertarian, not Republican, or Republican in name only. And it is not so much his opposition to the war in Iraq that is causing his surge, but his disdain for the economics of massive inflation and credit, and his vow to restore Constitutional government to the country. I think Ron Paul should, by all the rights in the universe, be president, but since he is such a threat to the established Demopublican status quo, he doesn't have any chance of being elected--this time. But once the country tanks and enters a steep decline into depression, some people may want to restore the original Republic and Ron Paul would be the logical choice to be the first president of the New American Republic.
