Obama declared President for second term by an algorithm that has picked correctly the last 7 of 7 times.

Lichtman’s model is based on 13 keys which evaluate the performance of the man who holds the presidency. If six or more of the keys go against the president’s party, the incumbent loses.

I like Ron Paul. He is very consistent and has a long and successful career. I do like his stance on changing the tax code, ending wars we can't pay for. This post was about the novelty of an algorithm that picks the incumbent as a winner if they meet 6 out of 13 criteria.

Sadly Ron Paul doesn't believe in evolution and I also don't care for his stance on nuclear. I felt that way before the disaster in Japan. My concern is the storage of the waste. Even given that, I still think he is the best candidate the Republicans have.
