Found this on YouTube. A Ron Paul fan dug up a video of the 1983 Congressional baseball game and added all of the Ron Paul highlights including Paul going 2 for 3 with a single and a double, and catching a fly ball. Interesting for politics and baseball buffs, not a great argument for the presidency. But 27 years ago, Paul some ball player, at least when competing with fifty year-old Congressmen.

Believe it or not, Paul was close to a world class sprinter in high school. Google it if you don’t believe me.

Is that Barney Frank providing color?

I throw out a soft ball..What position did Newt play?
February 13th, 2012 at 11:26 pm
That was tough to watch…and listen to.
Warning: Barney Frank is on the mic throughout the entire video.

Kare,
The Big Dig doesn’t bother me as much as….
Did Mitt Romney force Catholic hospitals to provide Plan B? Mass. Catholic leader says ‘yes’

Eric,

8- says the guy who adamantly persisted in predicting a Minnesota win for Romney, despite all the evidences. A day before the caucus.
Sorry Ericnamus. You don’t have any credibility left forecasting electoral results.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:13 am
11- ouch!
February 14th, 2012 at 12:18 am
Paul just looked a younger kind of crazy back then.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:19 am
11 so fake – nice rewrite of what really happened.

What “really” happened?
February 14th, 2012 at 1:54 am
Craig spews his BS again.
The bill was vetoed by governor Romney. Read what other Massachusetts prolife groups have written about the subject.
The article clearly references that he vetoed the bill and infers malfeasance as to his motives. Stick to the facts.

No, it can’t. This report you posted was from 2007 and the SEC found no wrongdoing. This subject was brought up in the last election and became a non-issue.

I love the old school, Astros inspired uniform.
February 14th, 2012 at 7:14 am
Sounds like ‘Morning Joe’ thinks Santorum matches up against Obama better than Mitt does.
He makes some good points.
For one, Rick isn’t the 1% stereotypical rich republican.
That would make for a very interesting GE campaign…and Rick’s a fighter.

“Just list me 10, no FIVE of Willard Romney’s BIGGEST faults as a candidate.”
1. Untrustworthy – polling shows nearly 50% of gop voters (thus a majority of all voters) do not believe Romney holds consistent positions.
2. Bad Record as Gov – No matter how he spins it, Romney’s record in MA was sub par regardless of political perspective.
3. Poor political skills – Although Romney has improved on the stump and in debates, he is still gaffe-prone, is easily flustered, and is behind not ahead of the curve. Take his “severely conservative” comment. Any goodwill his CPAC speech garnered was undone by that simple ad hoc phrase.
4. No common touch – Perhaps Romney’s fatal flaw is the perception of a lack of personal warmth and understanding. Whether its being super rich or super mormon or just aloof, Romney has not made a personal connection with voters. There is little enthusiasm for him even among his supporters. He’s the lima beans on the plate.
5. Mormon – It deserves a separate category because it’s the elephant in the room. But not because voters are unwilling to vote for a mormon, but because Romney treats it as some deep family secret.

20- did some research, and you’re right. Thanks.

His chicken legs have much less wind resistance.

Things I learned this morning:
Santorum takes lead in new CBS/NYTimes poll.
Romney and his superpac make big ad buys in MI, OH and Super Tuesday states.
In 2008, 3/5 of MI primary voters were median income voters, a group Romney has struggled with.
UK and France in danger of losing AAA credit rating. Greek economy contracted 7% in 4th qtr; they are in 5th year of recession. US is NOT Greece!
February 14th, 2012 at 8:31 am
28. YET!
February 14th, 2012 at 8:32 am
New national poll:
Santorum – 30%
Romney – 27%
Paul – 12%
Gingrich – 10%
Notes:
Gingrich has hit his floor, and Santorum STILL isn’t beating Romney. Romney only down by 3 after Santorum makes a huge statement a week ago? Wow. Mitt is in relatively good shape. Everything, of course, will change when the results of Michigan come out, however.

Ron is ok.
February 15th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Why would you run real ads from Romney and Santoum but some “fan dug up a video” and use it to discredit Ron Paul. Why not use ads that actually reflect his goals and his best “argument for the presidency”. Like these:

If you want to discredit some one do it with real ads not some “fan dug up a video”.

Adam,
For future reference:
If you make more than one link in a comment, the site automatically puts it into the “Moderate” queue, and you have to wait for a moderator to green light it.
February 15th, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Thats Okay. I just wanted to provide more then just one video as evidence. Just in case people might have thought that he only had “one” good video.
February 15th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
Thanks though.

For all you history buffs…Dr. Paul batted just ahead of then Maine 2nd district congressman (and future maine governor Jock McKernan…aka, Mr. Olympia Snowe).
