Who the hell is Ron Paul?

Right now “Ron Paul” is among the top-searched terms on Technorati, the popular site that tracks blog posts. According to the community Web site, Eventful, there are more than 16,000 outstanding “demands” for Paul to appear in cities across the country – that’s up 11,000 from just one week ago, leapfrogging him over Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York. Ron Paul video clips get plenty of play on YouTube and there is no shortage of blogs devoted to his support.What do these numbers mean? How do you reconcile that support with the national poll numbers? In virtually every scientific national poll — generally regarded as the best measurement of public support for a political candidate — Paul registers, at most, between 1 and 2 percent. Do the debate numbers reflect something different than the national polls? Is it too early to tell? - CNN
This Congressman's 'supporters' have been gumming up every poll they can find on the internet. Take this:
June 5th GOP Presidential Debate
Ron Paul participated in the June 5th debate hosted by CNN.CNN gave Paul less than 6 minutes of airtime out of the two hours of the debate. CNN instead decided to focus more on the more mainstream "big 3" candidates Mitt Romney, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. Regardless, according to over 75,000 respondents to an MSNBC online vote, Paul won the debate. - Wikipedia
That of course does nothing but perhaps give people a reason to look deeper at that candidate.
That however will not be enough to help once we have had the first primary and he places dead last. By that point his supporters will most likely be out of tricks. That is, provided Congressman Paul remains in the reace that long.
Now he might be a good option for President, but frankly his supporters freak me out. That is reason enough to be glad that someone else will win the Republican nomination.

No offense, but that's kind of a dumb thing to say. Are you going to vote for the candidate or the supporters? BTW, maybe it's time you were freaked out a bit.
" Are you going to vote for the candidate or the supporters?"
No candidate is an island. There is a whole support staff and supporters that come with him/her. So, you are really voting for the leader of a group.
After all, right from the start, you are voting for him and his choice of VP. Then once elected, he needs to form a Cabinet and will be making all sorts of appointments all during his term.
Some are life-long, as those for the Supreme Court. As everyone knows, it is the Republican's supporters that push Republican Presidents to nominate pro-life judges.
And so, what kind of impression do people get when the supporters of that candidate are running around the internet like an out of control mob of children?
