First, though, some politics. Yep. I've been paying more attention this year than I ever have. Sam and I watched the Republican debates and I was surprised by what I heard. Most of the candidates just seem like political talking heads that just spit out the party line to rabid, cult-ish followers.
But not Ron Paul. The FoxNews analysts said he had a terrible debate, but, as you'll see in the video, the media is a bit biased. Ron Paul won me over in the debate. I don't agree with everything he says, but he seems sensible and thoroughly Constitutional-- even when that means losing some Right Wingers. I went to the Straw Poll and voted for him (though I feel like I'd need to do more research before I would vote for him in a real election).
Ron Paul is winning over lots of voters in a bi-partisan (I met some people at his Straw Poll camp who voted for Obama last election), grassroots kind of way. It's definitely not a media-driven effort, that's for sure. Maybe that's part of why it's starting to take off.
Hilarious Jon Stewart on how the media literally ignores the Paul campaign:
