Media: Which Republican should face Obama this November?

thought through!

I do think that the other issue needs to be discussed -- special interests. Both factions (ABO and ACBR) serve the Military Industrial Complex and the Israel lobby. Those factions are not at all pleased with Paul because he is decidedly not in their pocket. Those special interests currently control most of the media and GOP political establishments.

There is also the question of the Religious Right ("values voters"), who want pandering, and are more than happy with a move towards more of a Christian theocracy. Paul does not represent that actively. They haven't quite figured out if they can accept a candidate who would allow them the freedom to be whatever they want to be, and yet allow people they don't want to tolerate to be how they want to be.
