former dogmatic republican paul craig roberts is losing his shit over the collapse of the last ron paul presidential candidacy ever. his points are certainly valid. a strict constitutional constructionist, even a wackjob crank like ron paul, would do loads to undo some of the ongoing damage to the american republic that the has only accelerated under the likes of clinton, bush and obama. the truth is that from now on, paul and his ideas, good and bad, honorable and reprehensible, will be invisible in the campaign. he fucked up in iowa, his best chance for a sea-change electoral result, and will most likely be nowhere in the upcoming states with no coverage and no acknowledgement of his campaign or his positions; he will get none of the love in the debates from the moderators who will be hoping for hot newt on mittens action. it's a two-man clown-car crackup now, mittens and newt. roberts and his libertarian hopes are pretty much toast now.
update: paul was nothing at the nbc debate. his very sensible answer about cuba sank like a stone. it's the mittens and newt show now. the paul candidacy is, outside of the non-republican libertarians and pot-smoking kids, over.
