Ron Paul In '08

It looks like the Ron Paul Revolution is beginning to pick up some steam. Even though national polls seem to have Paul at a consistent 5% for the Republican nomination, Paul has consistently won viewer call-in polls after debates and has won many straw polls in several states.

One only needs to go to YouTube and type in Ron Paul to view any number of clips that have Paul's comments on his platform...all of which are very appealing to liberty-loving Americans. John McCain openly attacked Paul in the last debate - which, as Paul states, means that the front runners are beginning to become aware of his following.

The million dollar question, of course, will be whether or not the politician that becomes the 'internet sensation' has any chance of being a legitimate contender. Howard Dean was the '04 internet sensation and was done in short order.

Paul does have a 'fall back' option if he does not get the Republican nomination...that is, he could run as a Libertarian and although that likely won't do anything to help his chances, it at least keep him on the ballot and maybe the Libertarian party could benefit from the exposure Paul has given to many of the philosophies of Libertarians and more importantly, our the founding fathers of this country.
