Ron Paul in Detroit Free Press

But the most surprising presence for conference-goers arriving on the island was the swarm of supporters of maverick U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian-leaning congressman from Texas. Paul, who is almost unknown nationwide and usually polls in the low single digits against his better-known rivals, has become something of an Internet phenom.

Paul's supporters were in evidence Friday, lining the highways to the straits with signs and cheering their hero at the Grand Hotel.

The outpouring seemed to surprise Paul.

"This will be a test for us," Paul said earlier Friday, in an interview with the Free Press editorial board. "We may have a dozen supporters up there; we may have a couple dozen. And they'll all be excited."

The Paul boomlet is likely to die quickly, however, as his supporters depart and the name candidates take the stage.

Here's another article I just found:

Apparently on the way over on the ferry to Mackinack, Romney (or was it Giuliani?) was on a boat full of Ron Paul supporters. They kept chanting "Ron Paul Ron Paul" the whole way over and he had to seek refuge with the captain!

If my research is correct, it takes 16 minutes to get to the island by ferry. 16 minutes of RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! combined with motion sickness would be enough to drive any neo-con crazy.

Video PLEASE!

Headline: Texas rep trolls for Michigan presidential support

I really resent the use of the word "trolls." Someone should re-direct the reporter to the Fred Thompson forum.

That Chowdah80 guy on the FT Forum, he's a HARDCORE Fredhead. ;)

I e-mailed both writers this afternoon with their use of the word troll. Understanding that not everyone is on forums and knows the negative version of the word, most people still consider trolling to be a form of baiting fish.

Writers don't usually choose their headlines... Editors do.

Man, is he bad. I just PM'd him to tell him what I thought of his neocon FredHead ideas for locking up the dissidents. Scary stuff. Someone should write an article exposing these extremists.
