Whom do I want to win? Gary Johnson. He's like Ron Paul, but not batshit insane.

Whom do I think will win? Ron Paul or (ugh) Mitt Romney. I'm not sure if Ron Paul's insanity is just an act, but even if it isn't, he's still better than that Romney creep.

I still think Obama can win the next election if he stops being idealistic (hasn't really helped him so far, his idealism) and listens to the Republicans and deals with the budget deficit. Osama gave him a temporary boost, but that's already dying down. The economy is most Americans' greatest concern, so he really needs to fix that.

What specifically makes Ron Paul batshit insane?  Everything I see about the guy is far more sane than all the other candidates running (Gary Johnson isn't bad though).

Five quick reasons why he's insane: http://newsflavor.com/opinions/five-reasons-why-ron-paul-is-insane/

To add to that, he also wants to leave NATO and abolish all state funded education. He voted against civil rights and is ridiculously in favour of state government power - his answer to pretty much everything is "let the states decide". Gay marriage, abortion, human rights... meh, Texas and Tenessee can handle it >_>
