David, 60% socially liberal/fiscally conservative... Paul will need to push that into the face of every voter, every day if he expects to get recognition. Most voters don't know they have an option, they think they're either liberal or conservative, us against them, which by the way, is the current Dem campaign tactic. They're going to so overwhelm the MSM with chosing an MVP the '08 election is going to make the Superbowl look like tea with the queen, in a doll house in grandma's backyard. Prince, indeed. It's going to take an outsider to wake up the voters. Someone is going to have to drive Paul through it. R. David, 60% socially liberal/fiscally conservative…

Paul will need to push that into the face of every voter, every day if he expects to get recognition. Most voters don’t know they have an option, they think they’re either liberal or conservative, us against them, which by the way, is the current Dem campaign tactic.

I know Jim, and believe me, that isn’t the first time he’s heard that. But maybe Jim has a point, after all who would have thought two virtual unknowns by the names of Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton would reach the presidency. And they were both southerners too like Ron Paul. Hmm… The Great Unknown by James Ostrowski [...] [...] Doug at The Liberty Papers has accused Jim Ostrowski of “hubris”.

Ron Paul needs grassroots support, and he must have the whole libertarian blogosophere behind him. This can stir shit up like nothing else. Ron Paul is bad news for all sheepish politicians.

He's Mark Henry a pilot from Galveston. He ran for Congress before. Don't know anything about him. But we must find a libertarian Republican to replace Ron Paul. There's a Houston-area Young Republican, well-known, who could fit the bill. He's a libertarian conservative. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he'll run. It's funny. I actually think the most important thing to come out of us this whole "Ron Paul for President" deal is the fact that it's a clear sign that he's finally retiring from his seat, and that there's a possibility to get a new, younger, much more energetic libertarian Republican in Congress.

I'm not saying to ignore reality, rather we need to accept the reality of the situation. Let's face it, he has enough pessimists against him: democrats, neo-conservatives, and the mainstream media. The election is a long way off, let's remain positive. He needs all the help he can get.

Yes. Money is the key. There already is a queue of folks peeing their pants to donate. Whether or not it amounts to anything significant, time will tell. Dean also had Joe Trippi. Start a PAC not a blog is this observer's advice.
