We were not able to schedule time with Congressman Ron Paul, a Republican candidate for president in 2008, until after we made our presidential endorsements this morning. No worries, though. Dr. Paul took the user voting portion of the endorsements in a landslide, although we endorsed rival John McCain over him in the editorial portion of the endorsements.
We’ll have a transcript up shortly at TechCrunch.
The Crunchies are tonight. Alice 97.3 mentioned it on air today during their morning show, which is no. 1 rated in this market. The event is this evening, see you all there!
Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich was too far behind in the polls to get invited to today’s ABC/Facebook presidential debate - he was cut along with Duncan Hunter and Mike Gravel. Instead, we scheduled time to talk with him about his positions on technical policies, something we’ve already done with Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, Mitt Romney and Mike Gravel.
Unfortunately we didn’t get past the niceties before Kucinich abruptly pulled the plug on the interview, said goodbye and hung up. There’s not much content here, but he does briefly address his position on the atomic bomb, the internal combustion engine and NASA, and notes that he’s had a lot of support from the Internet. At the end of the interview he promises to reschedule. Something tells me he won’t be able to do that before he pulls out of the race. After coming in dead last in Iowa and polling “NA” in other states, I have a feeling he may not be around for long.
