Great Day
1) Spring has sprung. We emerged from the rainy season, so now we've got consistent highs in the 50's / 60's and lows in the upper 30's / 40's. The sun is shining.

Ron Paul, very entertaining guy, but would be a total disaster as president. For example, he clearly implies, on his website, that the Federal Reserve is devaluing American currency by increasing the money supply.

So, I oppose Ron Paul on his merits not because he'll never get elected.

I think Obama is the biggest mystery thus far. He has gone on about change for months now, but has given few concrete proposals about what he would do. Modern presidents have little real power beyond foreign affairs, cabinet level enforcement(or non-enforcement), and control of the military. A president can only change things within his own administration for 4-8 years. Any lasting or dramatic changes require the full support of congress, which is very difficult to obtain with the special interests as they are.
