Uhhh, he already holds a national office. He is a U.S. Representative (who btw secured his re-election to Congress).

P.S. Intelligent discourse isn't naively making decisions based on a biased source that are perpetuating myths, misconceptions, and half-truths and passing them off as fact (read: the MSM).

"We're not a respectable (TV) network. We're a whorehouse network. We take [ratings and profits] any way we can get it." ~Frank Hackett (Robert Duvall), from the movie Network.

I meant executive office. But thanks for clarifying a point that everyone already knows. He's got a nice, cozy, no-opponent-in-the-general-election congressional seat there that he can stay comfortable in. And enjoy.

ETA: I just read your edited/added parts and again, don't assign all your big-word-mumbo-jumbo to me 'cuz you don't know me, and I'd caution you that making decisions based on zealot-driven websites, blogs and I don't know how else the Paulettes communicate, leaflets, maybe?, is the best way to go either. And oo, a movie quote against "the system". That's unique. And effective in "intelligent discourse"! But hey, you do you.

Don't they communicate by racist Ron Paul newsletters, according to the press about a month ago?

Perhaps even more funny than Kapital PhiNust's claim that the Republican delegates are all going to abandon McCain is the idea that if they did, they'd go for Ron Paul because despite his inability to win many delegates in the primaries, more people will be interested in voting for Ron Paul in the general election.

It's worth a chuckle to really think it through.
