Be careful what conclusions you draw from this: Ron Paul would probably have similar numbers. Your decision on whether to run for president should satisfy those who support you, not those who don't.

If 71% of people actually knew who Ron Paul was, I'd be surprised.

After this picture, I don't feel I could support her either.

I'm sure that many voters are familiar with his name; whether they know much more than that is another story of course.

Palin is like the William Hung of the "conservative" movement.
