...I'll refrain from answering the rhetorical. <br /><br />Maybe, in general, people will be less excited about President Obama, and we won't have acolytes claiming that someone will change Washington. Jaded? Of course we are. <br /><br />Depending on who gets the Republican nomination, there's a possibility of having a great political discourse in 2012. I'm rooting for Ron Paul, because there's a clear choice between a strong, centralized government or not. Unfortunately we can't have a national referendum on the subject. But frankly, Ron Paul is the only true conservative in their field, and, in my opinion, their most intelligent candidate, who could intellectually spar with President Obama. My "hope" would be that Obama vs. Paul would raise the level of the conversation past electrified fences, 999, and eliminating all federal aid. There are much more complex issues, and they deserve proper treatment.LWZRGHTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-65298311000780676192011-11-15T18:43:08.038-06:002011-11-15T18:43:08.038-06:00Incidentally, my captcha on the previous post was ...Incidentally, my captcha on the previous post was "Burba."

I think the Republican primary field suggests that there won't be dozens, but every endorsement that flips to the Republican will be over-reported like they were unfavorable court rulings on the ACA.JSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-16822096581280780542011-11-15T16:05:00.505-06:002011-11-15T16:05:00.505-06:00So: keep your eyes open.
