(10,893 posts)here in Oakland. I doubt he'll even make it past the GOP convention, but I admit RP does concern me a little. Like someone stated above, he could fool low-info voters into thinking there is a stark contrast between him and Willard Robme if he were to pull off an upset, even though they both favor vulture capitalism. He could also siphon single-issue voters from PBO on issues like marijuana.
Another thing I would like to add is that Paulites are indeed very vocal and infest the Internet like nobody's business. If a person were to go by only what they see on the Internet, they'd think that everybody in this entire country is in love with him, and that he's a saint compared to every other politician. But for a while, he was leading in donations among armed forces. Also, he can draw respectable crowds at his rallies.
