Anyone that has followed Ron Paul at all knew about these allegations well before the New Republic story broke. Ron Paul is not racist. Let me give you a little bit of a mental workout since you are obviously in need of some. Racism requires group think, that is to say it requires a person's willingness to judge entire groups of people at once. Something that is strictly impossible from a libertarian viewpoint (ie Ron Paul's views). Your charges are weak at best and your intellectual laziness is sad. If you want to talk about embarrasing profiteering from attacking groups of people the GOP establishment can take some heat for the way gay marriage has played out over the last 5 years. Unfortunately Stix you appear to be hoping to just take a cheap shot at Ron Paul in a forum where you did not expect any contrary views. Stix, way to just repeat the newest news trend.

However I think that if Obama is the dem candidate you'll see a higher that expected turn out because he has a younger demographic -plus half of MU is from Chicago- and subsequently a higher republican turn out for people that hate B. Hussein Brandon-

Good work! I was just saying it might be tough to get students to turn out for the actual election and primary. Justin- I agree you got good results on the straw poll. Good work!

And this is supposed to be a place of higher learning. I know that people in college are supposed to rebel and such, but Ron Paul, the anti-Semite, bigotted conspiracy nut won the Republican race. And do we want to loose our Party to the cneter and not have a conservative base any more. I know i would vote for McCain over the Defeatocrats, but the Primary is not to look for who you think can win the General Election, it is to steer the Party to a direction that we wnat it to go. Man, this is just frustrating me, just like it does Rush. Ron Paul won. And this is supposed to be a place of higher learning.

Back Corner far right (as you enter) and the amount of total foot trafic -removing the people at other orgs.- I would say that over 100 votes was a good amount of the foot trafic that came through Brandon-
