It may be time for this blog to go (unless Ron Paul endorses Obama)

Will Ron Paul endorse Barack Obama? Almost certainly not even though Obama is clearly, among the three remaining candidates for US President, closest to RP’s positions. It may be time soon for this blog to go. I have said that if I had been an American voter, I would prefer Obama over McCain and Hillary by a mile, though between McCain and Hillary (both war-mongers) I would have reluctantly preferred McCain.

I continue to think Mrs Clinton’s bid may be violating the 22nd Amendment — the easiest way to see that is by asking the following hypothetical: suppose Obama becomes President and wins re-election; after 8 years in the White House, his wife then decides she wants to try to be President and runs for the office. The 22nd Amendment was intended to stop such things though the authors of the 22nd Amendment could not have foreseen the kind of nepotism the Clintons have been indulging in. Husband and wife are the same legal person in the eyes of the State in these circumstances. The First Lady and the President are the same legal person. In fact, Mrs Clinton has been using that to her advantage in the campaign — eg getting President Clinton to campaign for her.

John McCain probably fears a contest with Obama more than one with Mrs Clinton.
