I’m afraid that his campaign is now based on being against the war in Iraq. That was the main point of the demonstrations and the demonstrators a the Texas Straw Poll, and the theme was stressed by Dr. Paul, himself in his speech on Saturday.

Several of his supporters that I confronted at the Texas Straw Poll got a gleam in their eyes and gleefully told me that Ron Paul’s campaign took off like crazy the same day he lost me: when he criticized the efforts in Iraq and said we should come home before victory is achieved.

See my response #261 to DugwayDuke. There may be some truth to the above, in part because some Libertarians think along these terms, but also because many Truthers see an opportunity of using the Ron Paul campaign to sew dissension within GOP ranks. This doesn't mean these people (Truthers) would vote for Paul in any primary/general election. His candidacy is merely being used. And he's the cause for this happening.
