80. He's a loony, but
he is fairly effective at playing off peoples fear of foreigners and positioning himself as a conservative populist. Back when he was beating up on bush I he tapped into that blue collar wallace voter buy demonizing immigrants and corporations and at least in NH gave the bushies a good scare. It wouldn't take much for the isolationist wing of the pubs to come back into favor. Especially if things in Iraq turn ugly...uglier...worse. You know what I mean.
