Ron Paul as a Democrat?

Had this wild idea today… Ron Paul switching parties and running against Obama in the primaries. He has no access to liberals and the Republicans would probably kill him before they would let him win the primary. He could run on the platform of “the party doesn't matter, it's the man and his values” http://www.dailypaul.com/node/143327 added by: Radical_Centrist

‘Ghost train’ hunter killed by train in North Carolina

The legend: On the wreck's anniversary, the sounds of screeching wheels, screaming passengers and a horrific crash might still be heard. You might also see a uniformed man with a gold watch. Shortly before 3 a.m. Friday, on the 119th anniversary of the Bostian Bridge train tragedy and at about the same time, between 10 and 12 ghost hunters were on that approximately 300-foot long span. They were hoping to hear the sounds of the crash, and perhaps see something. Instead, a real Norfolk-Southern train — three engines and one car — turned the corner as it headed east to Statesville, about 35 miles north of Charlotte, authorities said. added by: interditx
