He’s still a candidate?

He's outlasted Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Duncan Hunter, James Gilmore, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Tommy Thompson, Sam Brownback....

- Raised more money in the 4Q than all GOP candidates
- Raised more money in one day than any other candidate online in history
- The greatest grassroots support for a presidential candidate in history

- More contributions from the military than all candidates combined
- Has spawned "Ron Paul Republicans" - ordinary people running for office as Ron Paul Republicans

Not bad, not bad at all, despite the both liberal media & conservative blogosphere that tried to cut him off at the knees.

All that and he's still a candidate?

I am happy about his success. I want a candidate like Paul to capture the politically motivated young voters and turn them on to limited government ideals at a young age. When they become adults, the idea of, say, abolishing the IRS does not seem radical to them because they fought for it in college.

You could have said the same about Harold Stassen.

All that, . . . . and yet he cannot garner more than 6% or so of the electorate to this point in the primary process. Wow, I'm impressed. Big deal he raised some much money (especially since I suspect that much of that money comes from tainted sources). He does not get support from voters. The people know he's a kook.
