The majority of conservatives along with independent Americans will not be motivated by this loon.

Well perhaps not. But I think you can say the same thing about any of the candidates or potentential candidates. Palin? Wait till the MSM gets done with more parody of her and Levi is given a few more runs through the tabloids. Pawlenty? About as engaging as a wet dish towel. McCain? We saw the outcome of that.

"This loon" does have a significant constituency, was able to raise millions in his campaign, attracted a lot of young voters to the GOP, and is the only candidate who spoke on a number of issues of grave concern to some of us.

Sure I would have prefferred someone 30 years younger who looked like Robert Redford, but what we have, right now is Dr. Paul.

I for one am very happy he continues to fight for what's right.

If he does decide to run, he’ll get a lot of money right away. I think that his people from last time around will still be there.

Jack...if a man fishes for his dinner in the same pond everyday, and all that's in that pond are blue gill, and he cannot feed his family with those...is it the fish' fault, his family's fault...or the fisherman's fault?

We keep fishing in the same pond for candidates and expect different results. I would rather support someone from military (i.e. Franks, Petreus) or business world. People who have true leadership qualities, have not been PC'd (plenty in business and military have been, I know).

Regarding Sarah Palin, who is the closest to that description from w/in the political world, but just barely...let's put it this way; if Nixon got elected, she can too. She's a fighter and we need someone who can fight back against the corrupt media-political party system.
