A few people that I know -- from non-political circles -- who are "low information" voters, have said they would vote for him. They tend to be people who view "the system" as stacked against their interests. I do not understand how they could mistake Paul for being on their side ....other than that they are really "low-information," and thus unaware of what he represents.
