Ron Paul certainly has a very large following on the internet, however, it hasn't translated into votes, and that's something that no politician can do without. With Barack Obama having a big surge in popularity, I doubt Dr. Paul will be in the race for the Republican nomination much longer.

I certainly respect his years of military service as well as his years as a physician, however, the guy just comes across as a nut job in need of an asylum. However, he does raise some very valid Constitutional issues and "radical" ideas that are just crazy enough to work. But with him stating he'd like to get rid of several necessary government organizations, he just simply cannot be taken seriously.
