there's good and bad in there, but the takeaway, I like, even if it does downplay the campaign:
Ultimately, the Ron Paul phenomenon isn't about Ron Paul at all. His consistence, honesty and humility make him the perfect harbinger, but the movement is clearly about the ideas behind the candidate rather than the candidate himself. It's for this reason that Paul won't be bowing out of the race anytime soon.
Each new rally is another chance for the Ron Paul supporters to have their voices heard as they continue their passionate quest for a smaller government and more individual freedoms. There is a long journey ahead of them.
To quote Dr. Paul: “In a revolution, you have to be high spirited; you have to really strive for what seems to be impossible. As I describe Washington, it seems like an impossible situation. And yet we have to strive for that, we have to strive for the ideal. Not that you think the ideal will be on our doorstep tomorrow, but you have to know what the ideal is.”
