RNC Open Thread Three, With Schedule
There’s a good chance Ron Paul’s followers will do something crazy tonight, and an even better chance that Rand Paul will say something crazy. Also on the bill: anti-choice fanatic Mike Huckabee followed by pro-choice “moderate Republican” Condoleezza Rice. So that should be good for a little cognitive whiplash.
