Below are the questions Patrick Ruffini and I agree are very relevant to the debate.
1. Please register at the website then vote for the questions ...
Why Can’t They Stop Ron Paul?
Oliver Willis —
Almost every time the Junior Rove Society launches yet another of its websites in the hopes of copying the Democratic party’s success, they have to safeguard against the rabid Ron Paul fans online. Why is it that seems to be the only faction of the right with any real online activism chops? ...

I wanted to watch because I’d like to see how they address the sportsmen’s coalition issue with the GOP. Unlike those who believe the RNC Chair’s personal politics will become GOP platform, I’m not as concerned by personal ...
