Although I have never been a fan of Ron Paul, it was hard not to feel bad for him as he trucked through one of the most phoned-in interviews in the 2008 presidential race. And I mean no harm to KALB, but it’s not every day that they get to interview a candidate for President of the United States. Perhaps it would have been appropriate to think about the questions before the actual interview.
“What will you walk away from this race if it’s not the Presidency?” Huh?
“Are Republican and Libertarian ideals one in the same? Or how are they different?” Does anyone actually believe they’re not different? Libertarians are “different” than Republican on a wide range of issues.
“What do you think of the constant invoking of Ronald Reagan as the ideal Republican?” Okay, that was a good question, but it was immediately followed by this:
“Lastly, who will you vote for in this race?”
I guess KALB was hoping that Paul would use their platform to announce his decision to drop out of the race and endorse another candidate. I don’t get it.
