Ron Paul, the revolution will be televised (on youtube)

Ron Paul might be a squirrelly little guy, but he continues to draw a crowd and his libertarian message continues to be popular among the faithful. Paul's youtube profile page has over 51,000 subscribers and over 7 million page views. While he has no chance at his party's nomination, he has created a force in the political year.

My take on Ron Paul is this...his contribution to the election cycle is far more valuable that Ralph Nader's. Why? Ron Paul is a representative in the United State Congress, that means that his name has been on a ballot and he has one elections. Ralph Nader has been on the outside of the political sphere his entire life and very few people that have ever actually cast a vote for him thought he would win anything. Ralph Nader for a time had an impact on American culture. Now he has become so enamored with his own philosophy his campaign is a waste of time.

Meanwhile, Ron Paul won 15% of the vote in the Oregon this month. There's a Ron Paul nation. Don't believe me? Check out this groovy video from his recent trip to Cali...

Ron Paul: The Immortal

John McCain has sealed the Republican nomination. You'd think that'd be enough to send the rest of the candidates packing for home. Instead, Ron Paul is packing for Pennsylvania.

"If you’re in a campaign to influence ideas and future of the country, the campaign is never over," declared Paul today on CNN's Morning America. Paul also said he would likely not support McCain in the general election. Ron, it's time to accept that, like Highlander, there can be only one. And this year it's Senator John McCain of the clan McCain. Still, at least one blogger on this site has gotten his wish. So, I guess in that regard, thanks Ron!
