Now I'm not a Ron Paul supporter, but that jerk is the ONLY person on the ballot besides Romney, who got there only by cheating.
I will show up with several hundred people to vote FOR PAUL because that's how you vote AGAINST ROMNEY.
Heh, that might be fun playing a Paulinista for the Virginia vote. Sort of like going to Mardi Gras and getting to act completely crazy for a day.
