Blue Republican - Ralph Nader Hearts Ron Paul, Hails Potential Left-Libertarian Alliance

Other than a few tokers, Liberals aren’t going to vote for Paul. While I don’t agree much with Paul, he has been one of the most consistent politicians in his beliefs. Seems to me Romney is going to be the nominee. The media, particularly the right wing media (Rush, Beck) seem to hate Paul and if you look at Fox News, they are starting to really pump Romney and dump on Perry and Cain. Marching orders must be in…

If you don't want Perry or Romney then vote for Paul in the primary. It's the easiest to ensure neither of the neo-con front runners become President.

I would have to agree with your assessment of cross-over voting for Paul. While liberals may agree with his views on the wars and drugs, I'm thinking there may be a fairly big chasm between them when it comes to economic issues, size/function of government, etc. I'm not a liberal though, so it's mere speculation on my part.

As for Romney, I will grant you that he is the current front-runner. That being said, it is still far from settled. And while I don't watch a whole lot of Fox News, I'm not hearing much Romney love from the Rush Limbaugh's and Mark Levin's of the world.

well since I'm an independant I don't think they will let me vote in the primary. truth is I'm more leaning in Cain's favor than anyone else.

If they nominate Romney, he will definitely have to add some crazy to the ticket to get the far right wing vote.

Cain has said a lot of anti-Muslim things he will have to answer to if he keeps getting attention like he has been lately. I think his momentum will stop once his feet are held to the fire.

Anyone know what the party registration deadline is if you want to vote in the Republican primary?

BSwell May 8th is the primary and you must be registered 30 days before hand.

Well Linecrosser, if Cain is your guy, go vote for him or risk getting "stuck" with someone you don't like as well.

Cain has a couple of "ok" ideas but I have a problem voting for a guy who ran (and loves) The Fed and thinks that killing every brown skin we can find is the answer.

9,9,9

dbw8906 I think everyone would have a problem voting for someone with the descrition you just attributed to Cain. Some hyperbole is to be expected but you sound like Obama setting up a straw man to knock down. When has Cain ever declared or hinted at the extreme views that you tried to label him with?

Does he favor the Fed? Well he was involved deeply in a position with it. Does that mean he can't be onjective when needed?

It's ludicrous to say that he advocates killing every brown skin we can find.

I haven't been on Toledo Talk long enough to know who is serious or who is speaking tongue in cheek. I sincerely hope you are in the later category.

But when Paul doesn't win the nomination, where do the votes of his supporters go? GOP? Obama? Third party? Stay home?

With many candidates it's usually easy to determine where support will go, but I've always been curious about the Paul crowd.

I will be stuck between choosing too write him in or support the Libertarian candidate. I'm done throwing my vote away on the Repub party.

If Obama gets re-elected he will be gridlocked with a Republican House and Senate.

Great follow up piece to the John Stewart interview.
