Who cured his skepticism?

That is the answer to all your questions.

Yes we cured his skepticism but that "cure" didn't happen the moment he actually decided to throw his hat in the ring.....though I suppose there was many people prodding him.

I have no inside knowledge but I would wager to bet the decision was not a "uni-lateral" one!! there is a "better half" and family in the mix.

He doesn't share a bed with these people. He does with his wife. She convinced him to run. We convinced him that his message is popular.

Supporters mailed him everyday. he says so at one of his first rallies in texas. Only about 50 supporters surrounding him.

we cured his sketicism with record breaking money bombs and massive support.

I think he probably only ran to give more of a voice to the quickly forgotton rules of the Constitution. I doubt he ever really thought he had a chance of getting to the last 3.

Supporters asked for years but Snyder did the long conversation convincing work from what I'm told.

Actually, Aaron Russo who's now passed away :(, was one of the first people to call him after he said he would run. The people who got him to run were colleagues and friends who kept pressuring him. He didn't know if the time was right so he launched his exploratory committee and received 500,000 quickly in January so he decided to go for it.

Absolutely not. She didn't even want him to run for congress because she knew he'd win. I honestly believe Aaron Russo had a great deal to do with it.
I believe he encouraged the conviction in Ron Paul to, "let it not be said that we did nothing".
