For my part, I'm pretty committed to protecting the voting rights of "marshmallow shaped, middle-aged" people. And knowing more Ron Paul voters than Hillary Clinton voters is not something that one should brag about, or even mention in polite company...

Not to belabor the point, but there's some nonsense going on in this comment thread regarding the Florida primary. The content of the nonsense appears to be the argument that,.
