. . . who else? Ron Paul, of course. The most anti-war candidate.

I wonder what that means? I'll have to ask our most astute political commentator. Where's Joo when you really need him?

It seems that people with some actual knowledge and experience in the Middle East are more likely to understand that Ron Paul is correct not only on the concept of "blow back," but also about the benefits of defending and following the constitution, peace, non-intervention, and only fighting legally declared wars that you intend to win and thereby doing the most to support the military and it's real mission.

Ron Paul is raising more money than most of the other candidates.

Ron Paul has more active supporters turn out at events than the other candidates.

Some of the others have dropped out. McCain will be out early.

Ron Paul's odds of becoming President are improving, and are certainly better than McCain.

At this point in time, among both D's and R's together, Ron Paul is in the top 6 likely to be elected.

It means that 50% of Republican donations went to Paul or that 25% of all the money including Democrats went to Paul. It is still early in the campaign.
