Have you held a job wherein you have managed a large group of people? What all do you know about foreign policy? What do you think the role of the federal government is? Do you have any current staff that could compensate for your political weaknesses?

I hope you the best, I really do.

A senatorial bid is a huge thing, especially for someone without any governmental experience. You will come into office with no legislative experience and no experience on how to read past legislation. You will have to find staffers who are knowledgeable about anything from nuclear armament to interstate commerce. You my friend are fighting an uphill battle with a vertical slope.

I would strongly suggest you read "How to win a cosmic war" by Reza Aslan if you want a rational explanation for the current Islamic climate. Also Imperial Hubris, and Thinking Like A Terrorist if you want some understanding of why the U.S. will be in a perpetual "war on terror" for generations to come.

What sources do you typically use for news? How do you differentiate between facts an opinions? Where do you draw the line? (Because huffpo is blogosphere editorials)

Lets say we pull a Ron Paul and bring the boys back home, what would be the overall negative impact with a massive withdrawal? Would the lack of occupation in the middle east be a net positive or a net negative?

What is your gameplan if you lose in court?

Sounds agonizing, but given the potential payout I suppose it could be very very worthwhile. Best of luck.
