Ron Paul is a libertarian. He was running for the Republican nomination because he knows a third party candidate won't be elected to office. As for Obama, I don't really like what he's doing so far (I hate the bailouts) but I'm willing to wait a bit and give him a chance. I personally doubt that he'll do too much.
Actually, the biggest thing that bothers me about the election of Obama has nothing to do with his political views. It's the fact that all these super anti-racist people voted for him because he's black. (Please, don't stop reading this now thinking I'm a huge racist) Unless I'm mistaken, isn't the whole point of this that we should be ignoring skin color? I understand that people are excited about it now, I mean it is history, but please everyone stop even looking at someone and noticing their skin color. That's what not being racist is about.
