Anyone know if he is lock-step with his father?  It is possible that he shares his fiscal libertarian views sans the Jew-hatred.

Is it possible to be a libertarian leader sans nuts ?

Well, people were so sure that Ron Pual would win 2008 found that he got 1%.
This time around he may even get 2%.
Why are we worried?

I agree.  The funny thing is, Ron Pauls followers are rabid, and they all flock to specific online polls, to show that 80% of voters want him as president.  But again, I warn everyone, if Huckabee, Palin etc do NOT show America that they will focus on fiscal libertarianism/smaller government/populism, then they risk losing votes to him; since hes good at marketing himself as such (Even though he's a hypocrite and took tons of stimulus $, while true fiscal Conservatives shunned it, AND he is pro-open borders)

Beck had him as a guest for a segment of his show a couple times.  They discussed mostly fiscal issues and many people who consider themselves to be conservative, probably agree with some of the things he says.

Jim Bunning, who is not running for re-election, has endorsed Paul, primarily because of Paul's positions on economic issues.
