Politico Front Page, Main Story: Paul-inspired candidates make impact
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27497.html
Rand Paul, Ron Paul, and Peter Schiff are seen in a photo composite by POLITICO.
The movement Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) inspired continues to ripple across the landscape.
It’s been over a year since Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) energized libertarians with his presidential candidacy, but the movement he inspired continues to ripple across the landscape.
In at least a handful of House, Senate and gubernatorial contests across the country, former Paul supporters have emerged as credible contenders — or possible spoilers — ensuring that his message, once relegated to the fringes of Republican politics, continues to be heard.
Paul began the 2008 presidential campaign as an afterthought but quickly won the attention of a previously dismissive GOP establishment and news media by generating intense grass-roots and online support. He raised a stunning $35 million, largely through the Internet, and set a single-day fundraising record by hauling in $6 million in December 2007.
While he never finished better than a distant second, his supporters remained loyal to him throughout the campaign and Paul even briefly considered a third-party run in the general election.
Now, those supporters are running for office themselves.
Paul’s son Rand is running competitively in the Kentucky Senate race to succeed Republican Jim Bunning, even though the GOP establishment has lined up behind Secretary of State Trey Grayson. Peter Schiff, an economic adviser to Paul’s presidential campaign, has raised $1 million in his bid to win the Republican nomination against Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.).
In Texas, a Ron Paul acolyte could have a decisive impact in the Republican gubernatorial primary between incumbent Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. In California, a businessman who backed Paul’s presidential campaign has emerged as a serious contender against Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-Calif.), who is a top GOP target.

Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
Well, I guess he called that one.
A Republic, If You Can Keep It
But the Comments!
arghh..
It's obvious there is more work to do.
People keep parroting things they have heard, with no supporting evidence.
For those who are unclear:
"Paul is weak on national defense"
This is not true at all.Empires by their nature, weaken homeland defense. Paul is for a strong national defense (AT HOME).
Or
"Paul is into those wacky conspiracy 9-11 theories"
Again, not true at all. Paul believes that we are in denial about WHY we were attacked. That's it. the middle East just wants us to play in our own sandbox, and to stop pissing in theirs..nothing more.
the parrots need to be honest with themselves.

Good for Peter..
"While Peter Schiff has the money to hire an experienced campaign team, he’s shied away from that approach. Andrew Schiff said that when his brother first formed an exploratory committee, he put together a team of Washington-based consultants to help hone his campaign message. When they expressed doubt about the political viability of his libertarian message, Schiff let them all go."
Who's Jon del Arroz? And how
Who's Jon del Arroz? And how come we've never heard of him?
