I really liked the Chicago Tribune article on Ron Paul. There was a little bit of a hit in there, but I enjoyed these lines:

"Paul has not moved toward the Republican mainstream since 2008; the Republican mainstream has moved toward him. As he hurries off to his next event, he leaves the crowd behind him, but he seems to be pulling the party in his wake."

Give me liberty
