Picture: Ron Paul and Michael Steele - End the Fed!

You are are talking about political strategists after all, so you really have to hold them to what they have said here and now, AND what they ultimately do with their new-found allegiance to Liberty principles.

You don't have to parse their WORDS very deep to read what to expect from either Steele or Coulter in direct relation to their public image and lively-hoods.

The, "Is he in or what", comment by Steele is a 180 degree reversal of his dismissive description of Dr. Paul after his performance in one of the earliest presidential primary debates back in '07.

Mr Steele, here is a Youtube of the very first debate Dr. Paul was in. How would you describe the transitions you went through from how you spoke of him then and now?

The,"If Ron Paul says it... I am for it." from Ms. Coulter lips, could reasonably be parsed, " If I'm against any specific thing Ron Paul says, I get more grief than I want to bother with, so I will stand for "it", only in-so-far as it serves to support my goals."

Both of these souls are hanging in the balance between true Liberty-loving obedience to God, and a literal career-ending, political termination.

I met Ron Paul when he came out here to SoCal a couple years ago and I had the opportunity to shake his hand not once, but twice. The first time he was making his way after his speech to a tent where he signed people's "The Revolution: A Manifesto" books. The second time he was seated under the tent and graciously signed my book and posed for a photograph. I am about 5'11" and I vividly recall standing eye-to-eye with him.

You'll notice that Ron has got a little bit of a hunch from his scapulae to his crown, which probably takes away an inch or two from his height. This is likely due to old age and without it one might be able to argue he stands around 6'1". Ron's frame is of course famously thin but he has pretty big paws (hands) for his size. I've never met Michael Steele, but he looks like a tall dude based on the video/images...probably around 6'2" to 6'3" or so.

As an aside: I recall telling Ron that day, in jest, that he should challenge Obama to a foot race! Ron is an exercise junkie and was a state champ in the 220yd dash in high school. Obama is a smoker. It would have made great TV! Ron just laughed it off and moved on.
