I've heard from your people that you liked my June 20, 2012 memo, and that you'd like me to send my advice and views throughout the campaign. Will do.

TO CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL, AND DR. PAUL KRUGMAN who debated on Bloomberg TV on Monday night.  I like both of these guys, and will usually go out of my way to watch them when they're on the air.  Ron Paul is a hard-nosed Libertarian Conservative.

To Martin O'Malley and Robert McDonnell, governors of Maryland and Virginia, respectively, who appeared on Meet the Press in a joint appearance. O'Malley is Chairman of the Democratic Governor's Association, and McDonnell, the Republican Governor's Association. The two had a good-natured, respectful, sometimes amusing discussion without either one getting all Santorum about anything. (One gets "Santorum" about

Chris Matthews consistently suggests a sinister motive to Ron Paul's willingness to attack Gingrich and Santorum, while giving a pass to Romney.  It's simple. Ron Paul has indicated that he thought Romney had the management style and psychological makeup suitable for the job of President and that, based on his experience working with Gingrich and
