re: Rand Paul's way-too-early path to the GOP nomination.

I don't see it.

Huntsman would follow in the footsteps of Ford, Dole, McCain, and Romney. He doesn't excite the base to get out the vote and I believe it is fools gold to believe Huntsman would attract crossover voters. I mean on crossover issues there is no clear delineation between Huntsman and HRC.

However in terms of crossover appeals I believe Paul can make a clear delineation between himself and HRC on 4th amendment issues. And because it is constitutional that crossover issue will not alienate the conservative base.

I would agree that if Paul gets the nomination, its going to be an interesting race. the dynamics will change quite a bit. And I could see Paul winning against any democratic candidate. I just don't see him winning the nomination.

But I could see huntsman winning too. He is likeable, certainly more likeable than any of the other GOP candidates. He is also good looking (sad to say this matters), and has a breadth of experience to trump HRC. More so than any other GOP candidate except Bush (yack). I wouldn't worry, there is no fricking way in hell he wins the nomination.
