If nothing else, admire their child like enthusiasm

Ron Paul supporters are trying to finance a Paul blimp:

Imagine.. the mainstream media is mesmerized as the image of the Ron Paul blimp is shown to tens of millions of Americans throughout the day (and throughout the month).

As GPS coordinates stream to the website a map shows the Ron Paul blimp's location in real time. The local television stations broadcast its every move. The curious flock together and make a trip to see history in the making. Emails with pictures are sent, then forwarded, then forwarded again. Youtube videos go viral and reach tens of millions of views. Ron Paul becomes the first presidential candidate in history to have his very own blimp. The PR stunt generates millions upon millions of dollars worth in free publicity, and captures the imagination of America.

This does nothing to make me think they are any less nutty. In fact, it makes me laugh. But hey, at least they are enthusiastic.

Rudy's gleaming moment

At tonight's Republican debate, Ron Paul was asked about Iraq. At first, his response was quite reasonable. Then Paul overplayed his hand and Rudy Giuliani crushed him. In a week with much discussion of Rudy's position on abortion, this was huge. He clearly re-established himself as the national defense candidate, reducing the significance of his pro-abortion stance...for now. Rudy won himself the soundbite of the debate, and that'll play into his poll numbers for the next few weeks. I know that I won't vote for anyone that tries to shovel the moonbat BS on me that we were responsible in any way for 9-11, and I don't think the average American voter will, either. The radical Islamists of Al Qaeda made a cold, rational choice to murder 3,000 people that morning, and they made their decisions based off of bigotry and a sense of religious superiority. That did change things for the medium term, whether Ron Paul cares to admit it or not.
