Ron Paul vs. Rudy Giuliani

I must disclose here that Republican Ron Paul of Texas is my presidential candidate of choice (Fred Thompson is a clear 2nd; Newt Gingrich is a distant 3rd; no one else rates above zero).

Normally I can't stand Pat Buchanan. However, for this point only, his discussion of THE exchange between Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul in last week's Repub. presidential debate was precise, accurate, and insightful. I call it THE exchange because the rest of the debate was bland to say the least and the 5 minutes or so in this exchange was the only thing noteworthy in the entire debate and was the only discussion covered by any media or bloggers. I include a link to Buchanan's article and to a YouTube video of the exchange. I suggest watching the video before reading the article. When you look at the video link (cut&paste), scroll down a bit to the comment that has the polling info. Likewise, when you read the article, note the 'who won the debate' polling numbers.

The video can be viewed here: (you might have to cut&paste the link)
