I am not foolish. I know a Paul candidacy is a long-shot, but it is a long-shot worth waiting for. Political thinkers need a careful strategy. Putting our vote behind the front-runner for fear that no matter how bad he is he is the only chance to beat Obama does not strike me as a helpful way to think about politics. Politics is a lot more complicated and thus, a patient, long-term strategy is best. Paul’s bold fiscal cuts are precisely what the Republicans need at this stage. If Paul will not win, his strategy will. The Orange County Register’s Editorial piece is quite helpful.<>
