[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Quite possibly the most influence any of us will have over this election is to vote in the Republican primary. If your state has open primaries, I encourage you to vote in them, regardless of your actual party affiliation. These states have open primaries: http://www.fairvote.org/congressional-primaries-open-closed-semi-closed-and-top-two The primary calendar is here: http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012-republican-primary-schedule/ My standard for endorsement is that, if a given candidate wins the primary, there is some chance I would vote for them against Pres. Obama in the general election. My list (subject to change as these candidates shoot themselves in the foot) is as follows: 1) John Huntsman. He has original ideas, including recently my own idea of using the tax system to make monopoly/too-big-to-fail status unprofitable. Unlike many candidates, he is not defined by hatred of the Obama administration, and he appears to be mostly sane! 2) Ron Paul. He's the single most consistent politician I've ever seen in my life. Some of his ideas are totally nuts from a functional perspective, but he is clearly unlikely to be swayed by political opposition. 3) Buddy Roemer. Also has some good ideas that go beyond the usual political talking points. And marginally less likely to be bought out, since he takes no donations over $100. I encourage you to vote for one of these candidates, assuming any remain in the race by the time your state primary occurs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
