    Default National Review: Ron Paul Rising by Robert Costa

    It's a sympathetic article.

    Three summers ago, Rep. Ron Paul, a white-haired obstetrician, shocked the political world.

    [...]

    But he did not win a primary.

    [...]

    Yet when he recalls spotting throngs of college students, at campus after campus, toting handmade signs and railing against the Federal Reserve, he knows that, in his own way, he won something.

    Paul hopes to do even better this time around. Last month, he announced that he would once again seek the GOP presidential nomination. He enters the contest as a nationally known name, a fundraising powerhouse, and most importantly, no longer a fringe figure.

    '...no longer a fringe figure.'

    We all deserve the heartiest of congratulations. All of us (except the trolls, of course...)
    We can't let them redirect the debate back to Red/Blue. Rand Paul's filibuster served as a clarion call, and opened eyes to the real divide--liberty v. tyranny. Everyone saw the president stall twenty-four hours before the AG confirmed we still have Constitutional due process. Don't let them turn this back into 'Left'/'Right' dogmaganda.

    We, the People--'Red' and 'Blue'--must hang together or surely we will hang seperately.

    i'm not even sure what fringe means. if it means something, it's an useless concept and doesn't appear in my thoughts.

    Really good article, I was waiting for the kick in the groin, but it never came. An actual fair analysis of his run and his positions. AMAZING.
