Ron Paul Edges Toward 2012 Bid (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jcxb9Tf-ZHh8M3ffLuWuOET1FgWA?docId=4a725cd0895c4c21b9b53cc 7eae0f0de)


Paul was a wild card in the 2008 race. He raised millions of dollars through innovative, online fundraising techniques and played a foil to other candidates in debates, but failed to make a decisive impact on the nomination fight.

Since then, his profile has grown. His brand of libertarian-leaning conservatism has attracted a vocal and devout following, which could be a factor in the still forming 2012 field.

Paul has gone to Iowa several times and travels to New Hampshire this weekend, indication that he is giving serious thought to a second run.

AP saying RP could be a 2012 factor = a really big voting bloc at the GOP convention...?

...and has been for four years. But, hey, at least they spelled his name right. Was a time they wouldn't have spelled his name at all.

I haven't found the word "quixotic" in a Ron Paul article for quite some time.

Guess we finally convinced them that Obama is the one with an unusual fascination with windmills.

The new AP Style Book must've come out with a newer edition that doesn't put that word next to his name.
