It would be great to see Ron Paul as president - a chance to reverse our slide into historical oblivion, a la the old Roman Empire. And of course our personal passion, to bet on the Net.
But I agree with the naysayers as a practical matter - he has little chance in a general election, or in the Republican primaries.
Tho this time with the electorate pissed and bewildered, as a 3rd party candidate he could actually break the 5% barrier.
BTW, I think the Frank bill will not much affect sports bettors (it's being pushed by poker players). As I understand it any sports league can opt out. So how many milliseconds will it take, if this bill became law, for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA etc to opt out? (The over/under is 2 milliseconds)
