So who is this new guy? An opposing candidate of Ron Paul, or trying to pick up power through his following?

To be honest, I do not know enough about him to criticize. So explain to me his record as a politician, and any controversial views he may have.

Some people say he doesn't support the FED, others say he does.

Well he has at least spoken out against the drug war I've read on the forum, so I'm at least interested. What is the man's record and whether or not he desrves to be "Plan B"?
