mr. crawford could shed some light on it. the original intent of this developer to voluntarily, as it was at that time, add 17 units, is commendable. waste unusual is there are 12 years later and no income has been derived from renting these units. even if they were affordable rental units, there's still a huge amount of capital from 17 empty units, which has not been brought back to this development. the additional questions -- and i don't have the keys in front of me -- was

mr. crawford for a comparison of the relative size, if you vu that of the the fifth floor structure that's to the up hillside as to the proposed fifth floor of this project. >> i don't have the size of the neighbors. >> not that it makes that much difference. i guess the only reason i would be opposed to the motion is that if there were a demonstrateable impact and although this is not a d.r. hearing, i realize but we still have to use the same concepts. what are we trying to make other than to constrict the size of their dwelling unit? i don't see any impacts that have been demonstrated. i think it's appropriate as it was designed in the latest rendition the project sponsor did. >> i'd argue that it's a neighborhood character issue and if you look at 1.1 of the architect's presentation, the penthouses on either side are shown the penthouses that are shown as larger on lots that are are one away from the two adjacent properties, i believe are bigger because they actually are on quite larger buildings and have a lot more units in them. so if you take what's shaded on the adjacent properties

mr. crawford. i think you referred to paul as a radical when it comes to the fed. i remind you that president kennedy started to print u.s. not notes. he printed i think the $5 bill and another denomination and there's been a lot of conspiracy theory and that he was killed. but when you buck the most powerful people in the world that might be the real reason he was assassinated because he started to print u.s. notes and said we didn't need the fed. so i consider ron paul to be currently o currently -- courageous in fact committing suicide. guest: i'm very interested in some of his ideas. he makes me think. that is the thing about ron paul, every time he listen he has such a different world view compared to most conventional politicia politicians. most conventional world politicians don't make me think and he does. host: we have this tweet. early.well, it is 'm just not going to write anybody off. from herman cain and ron paul down. politics can take some wild turns. people wrote off barack obama and bill clinton early on because they were not known and barack had t

mr. crawford what did tim pawlenty bring to the table last night?hat group to get the nomination but he used his time to introduceointr himself, personal stories and i think a lot of republicans will flock to him the biggest of those who were not there like romney and newt gingrich this was not a real debate those who d see a different dynamic. >> if you rate day betting man would you bet on mitch daniels? >> he doesn't act like he has much fire in the belly. although i do find every time i talk to insider republicans i throw in a question and niche daniel's name comes up with the conventional crowd and the governor seems to have a following and it may not translate into votes with iowa or new hampshire but to but based on what i have seen a mussy is playing a game. >> were insider surprised by the haley barbour position? >>guest: i think so. he indicated he was interested. but this is starting to remind me of 1992 when clinton got in because the big names did not. he ran for president only because out court chose not to. he did not feel that he cou

mr. crawford, why don't they take ron paul seriously.thank you for taking my call. >> guest: i think because he is so radical to conventional thinking in washington. he is taken seriously by a lot of voters. but i agree i think the media establishment and the washington political establishment -- when he says things about like abolishing the federal reserve, for example, that just seems radical to washington thinking. so i think he's threatening to them. there's a lot of threatening talk from ron paul from the conventional establishment, so there's an effort to marginalize him. and i take him seriously, i always have. and i think the financial meltdown really plays into his hands. i mean, that was -- that's an example of the sort of thing he'd been talking about for years. >> host: craig crawford, do you think that ron paul has a chance of getting the nomination? >> guest: i'm beginning to think that this could be the year where republican voters figure -- kind of like a goldwater year, where republican voters figure, well, obama is goin
