1 Well, he's got a strong following with the youngans on the 'net (most of which, if history holds true, won't bother to vote when the time comes), but he's a bit too far out there to appeal to the larger masses. The Libertarian view of eliminating tax-funded government infrastructure and leaving it to private enterprise just plain wouldn't work, and stuff like wanting to legalize drugs will have a very hard time winning the majority over as well.
I also wasn't fond of this "we were only attacked by nine guys" or whatever that was during the debate that for some reason people cheered about... did Ron sorta miss that those guys were part of a worldwide organization holding similar goals and beliefs?

2 Admittedly, I don't think Paul completely understands the ist threat. But I think his other solutions WILL mediate that threat, even if not directly.

As for just have net support -- if it's only a few youngans on the net, how do you explain him out fundraising all other candidates but the top two? He is getting a pile of cash, so someone's got to get supporting him. But I think the press honestly fears him and won't report anything good about him, ever.

3 There is a movement in support of Ron Paul. I just wonder if it's enough to get him elected. Things sure would be different...

4 This guy's solution to Social Security problems is simple, DO AWAY WITH IT! Now you know why all his support is among the young. If Al Queda blows Houston off the face of the earth, I wonder if he will be willing to change his mind and defend the Constitution and the country?
