That’s the Ticket

They’re short!

They’re quirky!

They’re prone to the occasional head-scratching sound bite!

And they’re both badly trailing in the 2008 presidential polls …

In other words, they’re perfect for each other!

On Tuesday, we asked GOP candidate Ron Paul which Democratic candidate he most relates to.

Ever the politician, Paul hemmed and hawed and threw out the requisite caveats and disclaimers (there weren’t any candidates “that would be real close” to his political views, Paul said), but then surprised us by throwing out a name: Dennis Kucinich.

“Dennis and I do” agree “about the Iraq war,” Paul said. “He’s been very consistent. … I give him a lot of credit.”

Heck, if you add up their polling numbers, they might even meet that 5 percent threshold to qualify for federal matching funds!
