The Washington insiders do not know what to make of the Ron Paul because the campaign is as much by the people and for the people as it is Ron Paul‘s campaign. Much like we want our government to run. Not directed from on high by plutocrats running spin machines and bundle factories. The internet is the greatest gift to our democratic republic since the printing press. Information is now easily acquired by little effort and flows in multiple ways , not be constrained by gatekeepers anymore. People can mobilize, pull and push information and work in ad-hock ways to solve problems unheard until recently. It takes a libertarian like Ron Paul to have an understanding of the power unleashed by decentralization of effort. The mostly typical social authoritarians who work in Washington politics haven’t a clue, but leading edge business’s have learned the power of decentralization and solving problems by ad hocking resources and information. Washington and most of the political establishment campaign and govern with 19th century authoritarian, top-down culture and technology . Ron Paul is truly ahead of any other candidate running for president by recognizing that politics can be truly open and democratic with today’s information technology . If he runs the government like he runs his campaign, he will truly be the best president we have ever had.

I'm old. I recall that Roosevelt was a great radio voice, and I think that won him the election. Kennedy was great on T.V. and so was Reagan. Well, technology changes... now its the internet for political voices to be heard (and read). For the first time in my life I actually was able to really find out what a candidate stood for. Before it was all cloaked over with newsprint and talking heads. I got onto the blogs... so, its Ron Paul for me! I even sent him a bit of money.
