SocraticGadfly: Could Ron Paul be the Buchanan of 1992 for GOP, even on McCain health?

May 14, 2008

Could Ron Paul be the Buchanan of 1992 for GOP, even on McCain health?

Especially with former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr announcing his Libertarian candidacy, I think John McCain is in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t,” vise over the issue of letting Ron Paul address the Republican National Convention.

Beyond the major issue of whether he, in a more avuncular way, might be as disruptive a presence for Schmuck Talk as Buchanan was for Poppy Bush, there’s another issue that Dems could exploit.

Who looks older, Ron Paul or Schmuck Talk?

But, who IS older?

Paul, by a few months.

The relatively vigorous, peppy, and even-tempered Paul videoed side-by-side with the not all that McCain could put not just McCain’s age, but McCain’s health at his current age.
