Ron Paul's Heirs or Will the Revolution Be Televised in 2010?

The 2008 campaign may be over but the lasting "revolution" spawned by Rep. Ron Paul's (R-Texas) candidacy continues to echo through the political world.

Paul, capitalizing on a healthy distrust of government and his strident opposition to the war in Iraq, became an Internet phenomenon -- using the web to raise an astounding $35 million for his longshot candidacy.

The financial network built by Paul during his presidential race has, somewhat amazingly, continued to produce for two men seeking to serve as the Congressman's political heirs.

Rand Paul, who is running for the Senate in Kentucky and is the son of the Congressman, has already raked in $822,000 despite the fact that nearly the entire GOP establishment in the Bluegrass State has lined up behind Secretary of State Trey Grayson.

Peter Schiff, an economic adviser to Paul's presidential campaign and a likely candidate for Senate in Connecticut, has raised $998,000 for his bid -- despite the fact he has yet to officially declare.

Both men have employed the "money bomb" approach (encourage donors to all give on a certain day to post large 24 hour totals) to fundraising that Paul pioneered in 2008.

Jesse Benton, a spokesman for Paul during the campaign, said that he was not all surprised by the amounts of money both Rand Paul and Schiff had been able to raise to date.

He called the Paul movement "legitimate" and "real", noting that the Campaign for Liberty -- an organization formed in the aftermath of the campaign and on which Paul serves as honorary chairman -- had raised $4 million since its founding in February.

the Paul message

Submitted by 95687-for-rp on Thu, 09/10/2009 - 16:35.

"We tend to agree with Rothenberg that while the Paul message is VERY appealing to a small group of voters, it doesn't sell well when presented to the broader electorate."

i hope we can change that perception.

Then don't go read the Reddit interview with Ron Paul. I was on a spree over there trying to counter the garbage the Libs were spitting. A whole bunch of crap about Ron Pauls thoughts on evolution, as if that is important.
