Just poking around the PSN website this morning and saw a poll asking who you would vote for in the California primary. What candidate is prominently left off the list? You guessed it: Ron Paul.

Friday, October 26th, 2007In the ongoing FC vs. LA saga, the city of Angels just took the lead. Why? Because Ron Paul’s visiting:
Yeah, I can’t read the text either. Why is it so cool that Ron Paul’s coming to town? Well, if you’re a libertarian, you’re probably salivating at the moment, but more importantly, Ron Paul supporters seem […]
