Your little idol,with "feet of clay" up to his receding hairline, is lucky to have the elected office he does.
Ron Paul is much better known now than he was 4 years ago.
Even 4 years ago, Ron Paul did much better than even 10% in some, but not all, states.
And now the tea party sounds like Ron Paul.
I’m not saying Ron Paul is the most likely to win, but 1% is way way off.
