Ron Paul Endorses Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party Candidate) for President « Republican Ranting

  • OK, back on September 10th, I had meant to post Ron Paul’s “endorsement” speech, but some crazy things happened in my life and I didn’t get to it. Well, none of that really matters now. The basics of his speech there (which I have just below) were that he’s endorsing all of the 3rd party candidates - basically don’t vote for McCain or Obama.

Associated Press Releases Comments from Undecided Superdelegates « Republican Ranting

  • Today, the Associated Press released comments from 10 Superdelegates who have said that they do not yet know who they’ll cast their vote for at the convention. Here they are with my analysis of them, comment-by-comment.
    “The pitches are surprisingly similar, although the Obama people tout their successes in terms of pledged delegates, states won and popular vote. The Clinton people tout her alleged electability.”

Bill Richardson on Pressure from Clinton: “That Really Ticked Me Off” « Republican Ranting

  • Yesterday, Governor Bill Richardson (D-NM-Obama) discussed his endorsement for Barack Obama with reporters:
    He told reporters that he almost endorsed Clinton, but waited a little longer to see how things played out, and as the infighting increased, Richardson became displeased with the party and the candidates. He told reporters “That upset me” when talking about Clinton’s 3 A.M. ad.

Obama Wants a System “that doesn’t allow third parties to overwhelm the system” « Republican Ranting

Lieberman Campaign Crashed Own Site; Blamed His Opponent « Republican Ranting

  • So, I don’t know how many of you remember the 2006 election campaign cycle events (I do - I always said that Lieberman would lose his primary and win as an Independent. I said it at the very start of 2006 and got laughed at, and look what happened). Anyway, Joe Liberman and his campaign made statements that implied that joe2006.com

Florida Democratic Party Won’t Hold a Re-Vote « Republican Ranting

  • This just came out from Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Thurman: “The consensus is clear: Florida doesn’t want to vote again. So we won’t. A party-run primary or caucus has been ruled out, and it’s simply not possible for the state to hold another election, even if the Party were to pay for it. We researched every potential alternative process - from caucuses to county conventions to mail-in elections - but no plan could come anywhere close to being viable in Florida.”

“Doctor Death” is Running for Congress in Michigan « Republican Ranting

  • What do a felonious & murderous doctor, a former Lottery Commissioner turned (controversial) professor, a dude with a really big head, a Congressman, and a kid with a video camera accused of being “Virginia Tech dangerous” have in common? They’re all involved in the election for the 9th Congressional District of Michigan. This race just keeps getting wackier, so I’ll list the basics:

Ron Paul Confirms that He Won’t Run as a 3rd Party Candidate « Republican Ranting

  • He just said it on FOX News - he has not entertained the thought, and does not planning on running as a 3rd party candidate. He said that that would “not help the situation.” I’m hoping a video might get posted somewhere - but it literally just happened. I knew he wouldn’t do it - he IS a Republican at heart. Libertarian-leaning - yes, but he’s at least keeping the party together.

Hugo Chavez Sends 10 Batallions to Colombian Border « Republican Ranting

  • Today around noon EST, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez ordered his defence minister to “move 10 battalions [several thousand soldiers] to the border with Colombia for me, immediately.” This move is coming in response to Colombia moving 1 mile into Ecuador and killing Raúl Reyes, a top commander of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc), a terrorist organization in Colombia that was started as a military wing of the Colombian Communist Party. Prior to Colombia’s invasion, Chavez had said that a move like this would be “cause for war.”

Rest in Peace: William F. Buckley Jr. « Republican Ranting

  • I know this is a couple days late, but I just wanted to take some time and honor the great conservative thinker, William F. Buckley Jr.
    Since 1955, Buckley has been writing newspaper columns and hosting talk shows.
    He had a sense of humor too. In 1965 when he ran for Mayor of New York City under the Conservative party (since any Republican who gets elected there isn’t a true conservative. i.e. Giuliani), he was asked what he would do if he won. His response was, “Demand a recount.”

Official: Michael Bloomberg Is Not Running For President « Republican Ranting

  • Today, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced in a New York Times Op-Ed that he will not run for President (although the story got leaked when he wrote the article yesterday).
    Here is an excerpt from “I’m Not Running for President, but …“:
    I believe that an independent approach to these issues is essential to governing our nation — and that an independent can win the presidency. I listened carefully to those who encouraged me to run, but I am not — and will not be — a candidate for president. I have watched this campaign unfold, and I am hopeful that the current campaigns can rise to the challenge by offering truly independent leadership.

Here’s the chart of yesterday’s fundraiser compared to his November 5th fundraiser:
