Looking at the current field for the 2008 US Presidential race (and trying to set aside other important issues), which candidate's economic ideas make the most sense for America? Unless the questions are asked, they won't come high on the agenda.
I have tried to use Blogger's new poll facility, which allows for more than one answer, but there's a glitch at the moment, so it's a one-shot question for now.
Your comments on the candidates, their ideas and the issues are welcomed.

It's 100% for Ron Paul!
Problem is I can't vote for him. I'm a British citizen. Of course, if Scotland were to become the 51st state I might swing the presidential outcome!
Welcome, David. Yes, I read some of his grilling of Ben Bernanke in Jim Puplava's Financial News and thought he made plain sense.
Scotland, England and Wales, please, so that's up to 53. And Ireland? Perhaps we could start with the Isle of Man - another tax haven for wealthy Americans?
Do you read Whiskey & Gunpowder?
And can you tell me why anyone who's tried Scotch drinks Bourbon (other than for patriotic reasons)?
4 out of 4 for Ron Paul so far - he's first out the gate in this race, but is there really nobody else?
I'm also British.
I hope Ron Paul stays in the race as long as possible. I'm probably not as thoroughgoing a libertarian as he is, but he's a personally decent man and his mere presence casts a pitiless light on the collection of freaks, monsters and con artists who make up the front runners in both parties. That would be worth doing, if he achieved nothing else. However, he's also succeeded in forcing onto the agenda the right questions about two vitally important issues - the economy and foreign policy.
We are heading into hard and testing times over the coming years, and I regard the state of politics on both sides of the Atlantic with utter, utter despair.
Strangely enough I was listening to Jim Puplava when I was reading your site.
I've now signed up for Whiskey & Gunpowder (despite its weird spelling!)
Can't understand folk not preferring Scotch. An ex-boss of mine was Irish and he liked their stuff - also spelled with an "e". Sadly he was also a bit of a socialist. But a Scot and an Irishman together, drinking whisky and whiskey, and arguing about politics - happy days...
David - for Irish, try Old Bushmills!
