Ron Paul's Path To Victory

I think that the only way Ron Paul wins the GOP nomination is if Romney releases his tax records before Super Tuesday. If that happens the disgust at confirming what everyone suspects is in there (10+ million a year income, 15% or less effective tax rate) will be such that Romney's electability will evaporate overnight.

If I were Ron Paul I would be beating the "release the tax records" drum as loudly and often as I could.

This is also the only chance anyone else has so why they are not hitting him with it at every opportunity is mystifying to me.

The top 10 conservative movies of the modern era – Telegraph Blogs

The top 10 conservative movies of the modern era – Telegraph Blogs:

"Two years ago I produced a list of the top 10 conservative movies of the last decade, which sparked a good deal of debate among film fans on both sides of the Atlantic. I’ve produced a sequel, a list of the ten best conservative films of the last half-century, from the 1960s onwards. I plan to eventually write a list of the top ten conservative films of all time, where the likes of On the Waterfront (1954) and High Noon (1952) will certainly be leading candidates for inclusion.

Romney on Wealth Distribution

Political Animal - Pushing worthwhile questions into ‘quiet rooms’:

"LAUER: Are there no fair questions about the distribution of wealth without it being seen as envy, though?

ROMNEY: I think it’s fine to talk about those things in quiet rooms and discussions about tax policy and the like. But the president has made it part of his campaign rally."

Daily Kos: Call centers: The sweatshop of the modern era:
"In many ways call centers are the sweatshops of the modern era. Workers in one Asheville, North Carolina call center are trying to organize; however, company officials at Sitel, which runs the call center, are making it difficult for workers to join a union.
