That is great to know if you are ever in a trivia contest, but we are talking about Presidential Candidates and Ron Paul is not going to be the candidate and if he ever ran would not win.

The question is from the list of candidates who is the best - depending on how you define best.

He's got more money than Newt, Bachmann and Cain combined.

Cain it's too busy paying off women to be considered a candidate

"If he ever ran...."??

Does that mean you think he ISN'T running currently? I knew the media blackout was intense, but wow.

I would currently define "best" as the candidate who does NOT want to drive my country off a cliff. B.H.O. is doing so at an alarming 120 mph. All the GOP candidates save one would LOVE the opportunity to do so at a nice, "conservative" 60 mph.

If anyone believes that ANYONE other than Ron Paul will make ANY actual, real cuts in government spending, they need to turn off Faux News.

The Republicans are going to LOOSE the election if any of the other candidates are actually nominated.

Actually, if Ron Paul gets the Republican nomination (difficult), he'll win the general election easily. (IMO)

He will take TONS of votes of the ACTUAL anti-war (as opposed to the ones who just hate wars when Republicans are in charge of them) as he has since been shown to be even more of a warmonger than Bush was. And that's saying something.

No, he won't. At the end of the day, people generally aren't single issue voters.

Well, if he gets the GOP nomination, there'll have to be some sort of bet, I imagine. :)
