What do you think Ron Paul is going to do?

In a sense, Ron Paul has brought a youthful attention and energy into the mix.

And in that sense I think we find the real potential of Ron Paul's campaign. He may not win, but perhaps he can attract new people to the mix and encourage debate amongst Republicans. It was earlier stated (by joko I believe) that third parties do have the ability to overall affect national elections by robbing one of the main parties of enough votes to win. This is the real power of third parties in our current system. If the GOP wants to continually win, they're going to have to satisfy third party voters to encourage them to vote for the GOP. Ron Paul can attract that mindset back to the GOP, thus giving people who may be more inclined to vote third party a reason to vote for the GOP instead.

While some of them made strides, none of the current candidates come close to Paul in general (record, genuine) for any of us could stomach. If Paul & gop doesn't win this year, then 2016 is a pretty bright year for us.

Tom Davis, Rand Paul, Gary, Justin Amash and maybe some others that i forgot may try for a 2016 run. It is definitely a 2nd wing in the republican party...

The Paul's spring is growing!
