well, it is debatable. Ron Paul got lotsa his minionistas in the teaparty up here. In HTFD, they control the teaparty.

1. His supporters are gaseous Rottweilers on conservative discussion forums but Chihuahuas when the votes are counted.
2. Not directly, except for the annoyance factor of having to wade through miles of dreck from his online trolling Sancho Panzas when trying to discuss the merits of other, you know, viable candidates.

It reminds me of the Howard Deaniacs. They have their loyal worshippers, but when it comes to actual votes, they don’t account for much of the party. In the end, it’s the votes that matter the most.

you 2 did a tie post. photo finish.
Paul did 9% in New Hampshire. Maybe less in ‘12?
Paul did 10% in IA. An irrelevant 10%.

Paul hurts Johnson’s chances of making a splash (not that either can win, they can’t).
Hopefully their presence can convince the other candidates to stick to fiscal conservatism.
I would guess Paul will see slightly increased support from last time. His fiscal message resonates strongly. And the wars have cooled down so people will be able to rationalize ignoring his foreign policy views.
It’s really too bad, I’d love to see a Libertarian type that wasn’t a social liberal (Johnson) or Foreign Policy Fringe guy who is going senile (Paul) run for President.
