His 4 year Tea Party anniversary when he raised $6 Mil in one day coincided with his appearance on the Tonight Show. He couldn't have asked for a better evening with Jay Leno asking him questions that gave him time to explain all his positions (without the constant interruptions like we see other MSM types like Sean Hannity so often doing). The audience gave him rousing support and if that wasn't enough, the second guest came out wearing a Ron Paul shirt and was actually knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about Ron Paul's ideas.
He also made news in some of his assessments of the other candidates saying he thought Bachman "hates Muslims" and Santorum hated "Muslims and Gays".
This also dovetails with news that Paul is a favorite among Federal Workers and has received more donations from them than any of the other Republican candidates have.
Here's an interesting comment from the Sean Hannity Forum who is coming around to seeing the sense of Ron Paul's Foreign Policy. He makes the observation that we invite trouble as much as we solve it: http://forums.hannity.com/showthread.php?t=2363501

Bill O'Reilly is the worst ... That man is classless arse!
Huckabee just had Bachmann on, to talk about Pauls remarks concerning her hatred of muslims. She goes onto say that Ahmadinejad hates Jews and wants to kill Americans. She is digging herself deeper in lies, he never said either of those things. He has said he has a problem with Zionists, but not Jews. I don't believe he has ever said he hates anybody or wants to kill anybody, but Bachmann sure does.
Quote:
Yet, after calling the U.S. a greedy, arrogant power too ready to use military force, Ahmadinejad told the AP that it isn't too late for President Barack Obama to carry out his election pledge to improve ties with Iran after three decades of enmity.
"I don't believe that this is a chance that has been completely lost," he said.
Ahmadinejad said he never received a reply to a personal letter he sent Obama, or to an announced offer to meet him during the General Assembly to open a dialogue, including on the nuclear issue.
"He could have chosen not to continue the wrong path chosen by his predecessor — and he can still do so," Ahmadinejad said. "Animosity with Iran will not yield any results, will not give them any benefit

Exactly ... so many people seem to think that we will be able to just limp along in this way indefinitely, just keep printing and spending more money! More wars, more government to infringe upon our liberty, more spending!
We are at our ropes end, i don't know why people just cant seem to understand that ...
No Kidding! We sure ARE up the proverbial creek without a paddle. Paul says that we are REALLY in debt when you look at everything by $36 Trillion. I forget what that all included but just to give people an idea how much that is, just $1 Trillion would be paying $1 Million a day times 365 days times 3000 years give or take. 36 Trillion would be like paying 36 million a day for a year for 3000 years! It is crazy and Obama and the neo liberals and neo-conservatives just want to ignore it.
