Ron Paul could get one or two electoral college votes.
"In Texas, elector Billie Zimmerman said she sees Paul as the only candidate able to save the country. She considers Romney and running mate Paul Ryan to be just another couple of Republicans who will disappoint her, and she called the GOP convention a “shocking display of deception and treachery and cheating…Zimmerman said she hasn’t decided how she’ll cast her electoral vote.”
“Another elector, Kathleen Miller in Alaska, said she is planning to vote for Romney but left open the possibility of a Paul vote if the outcome of the election was certain and Republican leaders continued what she called ‘shenanigans.’”
There are other Paul-supporting Republican electors in Nevada, but Romney lost there. I was asking myself if it would be better for these electors to vote Johnson, as he’s likely running again in 2016, but what with all the Republican sobering-up this morning and realizing they need to embrace libertarianism, I think these electors voting Paul is the best strategy. Otherwise they’ll just say, “Heck, you Libertarians get out of our Party!” (whereas Paul is a Republican). Plus, I think Paul deserves official recognition more than Johnson at this point, and we’re all aware of Johnson’s ideological flaws.
Anyway, I guess we’ll find out in December if it happens.

Choppers then.

War against those red commies.
War against those terrorists.
All a pack of lies brought to us by the Masters of War.
Beware of the next false flag.

Oh the genius of those YouTubers…
Is that the Mankiw textbook or a different one? That’s pretty funny.
Yeah, it’s Mankiw’s Principle of Macroeconomics
Does anyone else just get extremely tense when they hear other people talking economics? Like, you feel an irresistible urge to either get far far away or yell at them until they shut up? I’m at the library listening to Econ students trying to put together an equation and I’m cringing.
2 men, 2 speeches, 1 message… the State:
@ Jargon
It’s that way with me on not just economics. I can’t stand to hear people talk about how the state is valid, like “Now that Obama has another four more year’s he’ll finally get these stupid Republicans to work with us Democrats! After all, the Republicans are the ones who are keeping this country from moving forward!”
@Wheylous: Told you so.

Couldn’t help myself:
Actually, that photo is doctored. In the real photos, you can only see Kubrick’s reflection. This is clearly a fake.
