Ron Paul
Ron Paul doesn't think you should have to pay taxes. That idea, along with a host of others geared towards the younger vote (he also wants to abolish the war on drugs) and you've got an Internet king-in-the-making whose YouTube presence has drawn in viewers by the millions even without an Obama Girl singing his praises. It's no surprise that he raised $4.2 million in one day on the Web (a record), $10 million in the third quarter alone, and is the single-most searched candidate online. Now, the Republican congressman from Texas has to find a way to translate that success into votes in a political climate where any association with the George W. State fuels already enflamed angst.
