The MSM can no longer deny the Ron Paul phenomenon. Some recent comments about it:
....Fast forward a month and a funny thing is happening on the way to South Carolina. In the wake of his third-place in Iowa and significantly more impressive second-place finish in New Hampshire — kooky Ron Paul is beginning to matter.....
Jeff Creem, 44, spent 14 hours holding his Ron Paul sign outside a polling station in Nashua — all on the merits of Paul’s opposition to the Patriot Act and other post-9/11 legislation that encroaches on civil liberties. “It disgusts me that all the other candidates will talk about the Constitution but when it’s inconvenient they will toss it aside and make laws that go against it. Ron Paul may not be polished but he is real. I trust him. And I’m going all out to help.”
...............Paul’s followers say they sense in their candidate a guileless humility absent from the rest of the slate. He’s quirky but he’s real. Not bought and paid for. The little guy, literally and figuratively, in a roster otherwise inauthentic — and none more so than that fee-fi-faux-fum giant of a front-runner, Mitt Romney.
“The freedom Ron Paul stands for is coming again. It might happen in this election cycle, it might happen in the next one. But sooner or later, it’s going to happen,” said Leah Wolczko, 45, an unemployed schoolteacher from Manchester, N.H.
“What Ron Paul started is not going to go away. Republicans are in the midst of deciding what the GOP really is. He’s the only one standing on principles. And those principles are going to outlive Ron Paul. We’re going to make sure of it.”
