I guess nobody else feels the way I do about Ron Paul's candidacy...but I've always felt that his poll numbers and contributions were being driven by Democrats, not Republicans.

He gives instructions on his website on how to re-register to vote in the Republican primaries.

When I was in Pueblo yesterday, there were people in lawn chairs at every busy intersection in town with "Ron Paul" signs.

Pueblo is the second largest Democrat stronghold in Colorado.

I don't know if his followers are discarded Dems or Republicans but one thing is for certain. By and large, they have an, almost, obsessive hate for Republicans and conservatives in general.

They seem to try and pretend to hold a position they they are equally as contemptful of both "sides" but I rarely see the foaming at the mouth toward the liberal candidates.

Overall, they seem to be a pollyanna-ish lot who focus way too much on how things should be, than how things can be.

There were two senile-looking old men who put up a Ron Paul sign here in Wichita at an intersection close to my house.

I can’t imagine any sane person supporting him.

"He gives instructions on his website on how to re-register to vote in the Republican primaries."

In Specter's last primary election where he ran against Toomey, this is exactly what he did. He got loyal Democrat union members with the blessing and assistance of his buddy the Guv, Rendell, to re-register as Republicans to vote for him in the primary. Specter traveled the state from P'burgh to Philly speaking to Jewish Democrat groups who support him, passing out cards to every audience having them re-register as Republicans so they could vote for him in the primary. And just like Ron Paul, one of his largest donors is George Soros.

Once he nailed the primary and defeated Toomey, he sailed to a victory in the general election supported by the Democrats and RINOs who always vote for him and with help from the Democrat Guv, Rendell (signs mushroomed all over with Rendell/Specter on them) who refused to even allow the twirp (some lefty Democrat congressman from E PA) who opposed Specter in the general to even be endorsed by the PA Democrat party.

Dang... I missed that. Haven't gotten out much lately here in northeast Azatlan. Amazing that that many people found motivation of any kind here in leftist Pueblo...:-)
