re: #23 Killgore Trout

The GOP field keeps looking sadder. Ron Paul may win by default because nobody else can be bothered to campaign.

I’ve semi-seriously wondered about that possibility too. It is clear that Pawlenty really wants this, but nobody really wants Palwently. Ron Paul is the only guy in the race right now that has both the will to run to run and the (infamously) zealous supports to carry him through. Other candidates would sell a limb for the kind of support and fan base RP has.

If this looks like a real possibility, expect to see the more moderate and establishment republicans quickly rallying around someone (probably Pawlenty) in order to stop Paul in his tracks.
