RON PAUL BLIMP IS OVER FLORIDA: Just because our Wonkette Operative didn’t see the RP blimp over Boca Raton doesn’t mean it wasn’t somewhere around there, or in Florida somewhere. Other Wonkette Operative Jen Cohen snapped this picture of the Freedom Dirigible just today!

The GOP candidates spent about three minutes on Iraq. Remember that place, where we sort of had those problems? Well Ron Paul is the only guy who will say what Dennis Kucinich said — and it’s completely true, of course, but you can’t win an election in America by bitching about a failed war. (Ask John Kerry. Or George McGovern.) And that’s why Part II of this debate is all about giving things to old people! MORE »

This is going to be the most exciting group of old people to visit Boca Raton and bitch about the young people since probably yesterday! Let’s get our festive Florida beverages ready to consume and watch the five surviving Republicans pander to the elderly for 90 minutes. Old people are the future! MORE »

Wonkette operative Lauren Selsky just picked up her GOP debate gift bag in Boca Raton. What do you get for going to a Republican debate these days? Let’s find out! MORE »

BOCA RATON — This whole GOP debate is the most exciting thing to happen here since Joe Pesci punched that kid outside the Jamba Juice. Ron Paul’s minions were handing out these little fliers all over the FAU campus Tuesday. This one was handed to me by a 40ish woman and her young son. Thursday’s the big Ron Paul rally! Not only do we get to wave signs, but we get to paint car windows, and we might even see the Ron Paul blimp! I’m just a tiny bit scared that my attendance at this rally may be misconstrued as actual support for Ron Paul. — LAUREN SELSKY
