“the same speech he’s given for the past 30 years of his political career, the one espousing the Austrian school of economics.”

Ron Paul doesn’t understand economics. I have a libertarian economic bent, too, but abolishing the Fed would ultimately be a precursor to a recession that would rival the Great Depression. True, the Fed is not perfect, and makes mistakes. But the money supply won’t just magically grow at a steady pace merely because you abolish the Fed.

Ron Paul is another clintonian ross perot plant.

Y’all can’t see that?

I’d be all for supporting him if his foreign policy did a 180.

You left out some interesting comments from the article.

But Paul's popularity can't necessarily be explained by a previously undetected craving for gold-standard debates on college campuses. His message, even if packaged in obscure economic lectures, is that there is something very corrupt, very Halliburton-Blackwatery going on with our military-industrial complex, and that can attract some pretty weird followers. At the Iowa State event, a student stood outside in a tricornered hat and Revolutionary War–era suit, ringing a bell. Representative Tom Tancredo, another long-shot GOP candidate, tells me that after a debate in New Hampshire, one of his staffers walked up to a guy in a shark costume and asked him if he was a Ron Paul supporter. "No. They're all nuts," replied the shark. "I'm just a guy in a shark suit." There is a subset of Paul supporters who believe 9/11 was an inside job by the U.S. government. And there are anarchists as well: they've picked Nov. 5, Guy Fawkes Day, for a fund-raising drive.

"His supporters are the equivalent of crabgrass," says GOP consultant Frank Luntz. "It's not the grass you want, and it spreads faster than the real stuff. They just like him because he's the most anti-Establishment of all the candidates, the most likely to look at the camera during the debates and say, 'Hey, Washington, f____ you.'"...

On Oct. 22, he aired his first TV ads, $1.1 million worth in New Hampshire.
Here's his latest ad.

I like some things about Ron Paul. And there’s no denying that there’s an anti-establishment sentiment in the nation that he has managed to tap into.
