The beliefs held by those who had a visceral, negative reaction to Ron Paul are the exact beliefs that are not selling at all to young voters and turning them off to the GOP. Ron Paul is almost a perfect litmus test. Some folks here violently disagree, but I think Ron Paul could have won the Presidency where Romney failed had he won the primaries.
Short version: he's for something, a lot of his supporters have a sort of excitement lacking in most of the GOP, and the Anybody But Obama crowd.

I am hopeful that Rand Paul will emerge in the forefront as time goes along.

Good Lord, Paul couldn’t even win a state office in Texas and he repeatedly ran for president and from two different parties, including running in this election.
Paul’s con was to raise money and live the life, in 30 years of being a career politician and con man, he did nothing more.
