GOP Potential Candidates: NO and YES

Apparently Texas Representative Ron Paul, in a recent straw query at CPAC, polls currently as the Number One GOP presidential preference.

I'll provide you with a few moments to fully digest that. (Please avail yourself of the Jeopardy "waiting" music below.)

Yes, you know Conservatives: racists all. It's just us white overlords trying to keep the black man down. Except that it is Leftists who typify West as "one of the most vulnerable Congressmen" in DC -- ripe for immediate attack only 35 days into his term. And Leftists are definitely attacking. The greater the fear, I submit, the greater the attack. I said that with Palin, I say that with West.

The problem is: Lt Col Allen West knows and exemplifies dignity, honor and courage.

Ron Paul: NO.

Lt Col Allen West: YES.
