All of them are good and all of them are bad.
Ron Paul, when asked to name his favorite Supreme Court justice. Mitt Romney, conversely, named four — Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas.

Newt stumbles, Paul and Santorum gain
Newtiny on the bounty? This is the second poll this week indicating a slip in Newt Gingrich’s support. The winners are Ron Paul and Rick Santorum (and, to a lesser degree, Jon Huntsman), all of whom saw gains since the beginning of the month. Gingrich’s favorability dropped 19 points in the last week, and on the question of who has “stronger values,” Romney beats him by 21 points. Meanwhile, the oft-forgotten Gary Johnson—who, it’s worth saying, is a libertarian who holds many of the same positions as Paul—is still stuck at 1%. source

Ron Paul suggests that when a monetary policy at large gets damaged, the distribution of the wealth moves to the wealthy, and away from the middle class. Thoughts?

Ron Paul did a smart thing, choosing to make the focus on his infidelity answer about not following the oath of office, ensuring that people who don’t give a crap about marital infidelity have a say in this whole thing.

davkimbro said: I noticed that shortformblog was listed as one of the top blogs of 2011 on buzzfeed. Other than that, don’t give the answer away in the tags?

» SFB says: We were, but that’s besides the point. :) Anyway, we figured that readers would figure it out with the photo way before they got to the tags, hence … was it really giving the answer away? — Ernie @ SFB

Apocalypse now? Donald Trump is going to moderate a debate.
Who would show up for such a thing? Likely everybody.

Though presidential candidates may initially balk at the idea of  appearing in a debate where Mr. Trump – with his bombast and The Hair –  is the one posing the questions, they may ultimately see it as an  invitation they can’t refuse. In fact many of the candidates have  already met with him, some more publicly than others. Representative Michele Bachmann has sat down with Mr. Trump several times this year. Gov. Rick Perry of Texas had dinner with him at Jean Georges, the posh Manhattan restaurant. And Mitt Romney paid a visit but carefully avoided being photographed.
And Newsmax is a powerful player itself. It has a broad reach into the conservative base, with monthly  Web traffic second only to Fox News among sites with  conservative-leaning audiences.


Looks like our post-Christmas plans just got a little crazy.

orbitalcommand asks: There has to be a Ron Paul phase, there just HAS to.

» SFB says: If Herman Cain gets a phase, Ron Paul should get one too. Only fair, right? — Ernie @ SFB
