I want to say that's Joe Biden, Nutty.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Maybe he's looking at his opposition to the Patriot Act and the war in Iraq.
I think a lot of people have been taken in by this -- as if it makes him a more Dem-friendly Republican, or something. Also, he seems to be working a lot of the "maverick" appeal that McCain had before he started toeing the party line.
No, no, the other white guy in politics.
(Biden's a democrat, anyway.)
I saw Ron Paul on the Daily Show and they seemed to have a pretty friendly interview.
Again if you look at the links upthread - he has ties to the militia movement, the people who want to overthrow the government by violence because it is not right wing enough. He does not believe any amendments to the constitution after the original bill of rights are valid. He has compared people who blow up IRS buildings to Ghandi. He has said at one point that 95% of black men in Washington D.C. are criminals. (Though he "took it back".)
Ron Paul did well on both TDS and Colbert by only talking about Iraq (where his views mostly line up with left wing talking points).
thanks for the links you guys! I'm passing them on to my friend.
He is the most visible candidate around here right now. Bumper stickers, signs, and a billboard. I think there is a small pool of fervent support. I've also seen some Hillary bumper stickers. It's too early for most of the candidates to start showing up, so I expect the bumper sticker presence to change dramatically.

I saw a ton of signs supporting him when I was in Asheville last month.
Mike Huckabee has been very charming on TDS, and I always think I like him until I look at his actual politics. Then not so much.
