Bill Bennett: “I have concluded that a special interest is a group that is against what I am trying to do.”

Ron Paul will not be the nominee of this party. I will take odds on that.

I think he runs the choice of either being ineffectual if he doesn't get it or imperious, if he does. I don't think this is going to go down well.

I thought it was, if not a racist comment, a way out-of-touch comment.

I think it's bad policy to do that. I also think it's going to be very bad politics, because of the opposition.
