Well by the election Obama will have over 3 years worth of experience as president, but if you mean someone with less experience than obama had when he took office you can write me on the ballot  If the next 3 years of the Obama Presidency are anything like the first 6 months, you've got my vote!

The election sure would be interesting. I might even support him. Or even a less extreme Libertarian. One who voters will take a serious look at.
I know Paul raised a lot of money at times online but he's just too rigid.

I know Paul raised a lot of money at times online but he's just too rigid. By 'Too Rigid', you must mean this: Quote: Paul, 70, has earned the nickname Dr. No for his habit of voting against just about anything that he sees as government overreach or that interferes with the free market. No to the Iraq war. No to a federal ban on same-sex marriage. No to a congressional gold medal for Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan and Rosa Parks. He says the medals are an unconstitutional use of taxpayer money and once suggested each House member instead contribute 100 bucks from his or her own pocket. Congressman Paul's Legislative Strategy? He'd Rather Say Not. - washingtonpost.com

He doesn't think it's the federal government's job to be spending money on those things, but since his constituents are going to be taxed for them regardless he takes what he can for them.

Lots of National League managers don't like the DH either, yet I haven't heard of a one who has refused to play the DH when playing in American League parks. |
