Back in 1999/2000 the only one with the guts to show up was Mr. Buchanan and the majority of his die-hard supporters ended up banned or suspended before it was over.

Hmmm, that must've been before I was even lurking here. Thanks for the history lesson! In any case, it might be a similar scenario if Congressman Ron Paul were persuaded to do a Q & A on FR. I imagine Buchanan conducted himself well, and I imagine Ron Paul would as well. However, there are some similarities between the supporters of those two men (imho), and the consequent bannings/suspensions wouldn't be surprising...at least to me.

If/when Mr. F. Thompson joins the race, things will get interesting for the supporters of any other candidate, unless their support was merely a mile wide and an inch deep.
