When Paul's name comes up in a discussion of candidates, one hears words like "wacky" & "deranged" being kicked around as often as "flamboyant" and "eccentric". Someone unfamiliar with the man couldn't help but walk away thinking he was a member of Nicholson's supporting cast from One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

For those who have managed to delve a little deeper, Paul's message of getting government out of our personal lives, destroying the IRS and returning to a founding father foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements is clearly evergreen and craved for by a huge chunk of informed, engaged and active American citizens.

I get the feeling Ron Paul actually knows something that the other candidates probably deep down in their hearts know but are scared to let themselves feel, which is that, people will vote for you even if they don't agree with you on everything. If they feel like you're a person who has a conscience, who has some integrity, who's got some intelligence, who calls it like you see it, who undoubtedly thinks for yourself.

Yet somehow he is still dismissed as a minor character of no importance. The reality is he plays the role of Rosencrantz, perhaps to Dennis Kucinich's Guildenstern (Ironically enough, you should read up on his position on much needed media reform), lending voters another set of eyes to view what now plagues Denmark.
