".... the long term political impact of the movement he has inspired is of intense interest to me."

Ahem! Would that be like the Ross Perot movement? Ross was a lot bigger.

"Would that be like the Ross Perot movement? Ross was a lot bigger."


Perot did not have a clear ideology. The author points out how Christian conservatives went on to assume a prominent role within the GOP after cutting their political teeth on the Pat Robertson campaign. Robertson himself did not become a political factor, but the movement that came about in support of him did. This is a reasonable model for Ron Paul supporters, who support limited government, to follow. The first sign on such a thing taking shape would be if the Republican Liberty Caucus experiences an influx of new blood following the elections.
