let me take your coat. Can I bring you a beverage? I have taken the liberty of drafting a national registry of Ron/Rand Paul supporters and disaffected gopers ... I placed it on your phone and next to the high-speed internet enabled computer terminal.

Just let me know if there is anything I can do to make your stay in this race more comfortable.

Gary is not a serious candidate but has some support from Paul supporters and others who hate politics. He appeals to those who think that NO Government is better than what we have now.

He has no opposition and he has no chance of winning, so that gives him the freedom to be himself. People who don't follow politics love this kind of politician.

A couple of my more conservative friends are voting for him. They loathe Obama, but hate the Mittster just as much. So they are supporting Johnson and pretending that they are more principled than the rest of us.

BTW, welcome to DU!

Are showing Obama up by at least 4 points. Rasmussen, a republican rag if there ever was one, shows Obama up by five points. Rasmussen gives a 3-5% bias to the republican. If the polls stay the same and President Obama keeps pressing his advantage, Mitt Romney will be forced to try to sunday punch Obama in the first debate, leaving Romney's plastic ribs open and his glass jaw exposed.
