Interesting point, and of course the amounts of wealth they have are major contributors.  But whether it's politics or anything else, it's all about who you are / who you know. 

Take an actor like Martin Sheen.  He has two sons, Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez.  Both of which turned out to be successful actors.  Obviously the fact that their dad was an actor influenced their career path.  And of course their dad had connections and got them opportunities that the average joe isn't going to get.  Every person that was a friend to their dad would be a friend of theirs.  So they have a HUGE headstart at getting their foot in the door.

And that's true of any profession - it's all about your connections.

Now maybe there's a little man behind the curtain pulling all the strings on the whole thing, who knows.  But I know that I've been in business (and even asked to be involved in local politics) enough to know your connections are the quickest way to the top. 

For some outsider to try and kick down the door and win this election is gonna be an INCREDIBLE feat.  And honestly, I don't see it happening. 

As for Ron Paul, isn't he kind of ostracizing himself from the Republican party?

But either way, I think McCain is gonna win and the Bush / Clinton streak will be over.

I am not that naive to believe that Ron Paul will win the presidential elections my friend, let's face it if by some miracle he was actually voted in by the people of america and somehow defied the huge media control they would sooner kill him than allow him to run america. I am assuming he will not be representing the republican party when he runs for president, he is going to be one of the independent candidates. My comments were more based on how I look forward to seeing this man who is well respected across the political spectrum galvanise the american people into becoming more awake and conscious as to what is really going on in their own backyard. I believe and hope that he will get a lot of airtime because his viewpoint connects with so many people, perhaps the mass media might ignore him but he has a lot of support at grass roots. He will at least shake things up, of course him running in the elections is more a symbolic gesture because there are so many things preventing him from running successfully but he will certainly stir things up.
