Ron Paul and Obama

He seems a little more comfortable with a president Obama than a president McCain. Again: this makes little sense of you look at this election from a standpoint of ideology. Obama is not a small government conservative. But on the integrity of the Constitution, on walking back the doctrines of pre-emptive war, torture and a permanent occupation of the Middle East, the two have something in common. and both represent insurgencies from below - and the next generation.

I don't think you have to agree with Obama on many things to want him to succeed. The point is in part a thorough repudiation of the past eight years, and a rejection of what Rove Republicanism has come to mean.
