What will the history books say about this election?

[IHaveaDream]

Will the liberty movement even get a mention? Or will it erupt in a fashion reminiscent of the civil rights movement?

Sure, they didn't mention it the whole election, but I'm SURE that the history books will have volumes.

No. The official history of this election will center around Hillary & Obama. McCain might get a footnote.

If everything that could go bad does go bad in the next 4 years Ron Paul will be mentioned as a "what could have been" candidate that started a small movement.
If McCain loses and we get a real conservative in office 4 years from now this could be contributed to Ron Paul's political contributions in getting the young people excited about the election process and GOP.
So I think he will be but only briefly unless he can manage to get more media attention. Who knows, the Minnesota rally could land him a bigger spot...I don't think anything like it has been done before; the challenging of the major parties with an event of this sorts, I mean.

BUT - If in 4 years from now the war is over, there is peace in the middle east, our economy is bustling, our entitlement and spending problems solved and we have that $10 a barrel oil that Murdoch promised then no, he will not get mentioned. But this scenario is very unlikely.

An American book? Absolutely not.
