SC Butterfly, you raise her very well indeed. Congratulations!

Link to the image in the AP database

Hi, here's a link to the image in the AP database:

http://www.apimages.com/OneUp.aspx?rids=9aec6abdf767463a9e15...

In this Jan. 11, 2012 file photo, Ivy Littlejohn, 13, of Pacolet, S.C. watches as Republican presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas speak in West Columbia, S.C. A 76-year-old great-grandfather who gives eye-glazing speeches on monetary policy, displays a crotchety streak and disappears from the Republican campaign trail for days at a time to rest up is captivating young voters. Texas Rep. Ron Paul's libertarian message clicks with young people, who are supplying zest to his stronger-than-expected presidential campaign. Why would young people gravitate to the oldest guy in the field? “Freedom is a young idea,” says one youthful voter. (AP Photo/David Goldman, File)

Here's a high-resolution un-watermarked version of the photograph.

This photo is everywhere

Just saw it on another news site, this time out of Amarillo, TX

Looks like the picture got picked up by the Associated Press (AP), and has gone viral

Maybe I should have also added

Yes but I didn't much care for this part of the caption:

"A 76-year-old great-grandfather who gives eye-glazing speeches on monetary policy, displays a crotchety streak and disappears from the Republican campaign trail for days at a time to rest up is captivating young voters."

The captioner shows clear bias, assuming that because Paul is 76 he wears out easily. If they only knew the truth of it...

Littlejohn

Submitted by Rlittlejohn on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 14:30.

Littlejohn's are kind of a big deal in South Carolina. I am an Oklahoma Littlejohn and that's where our family name comes from...this is the kind of thing that will turn my 76 year old father into a Ron Paul Supporter. Can't wait to send the link....

Well go ahead and tell him

Submitted by SC Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 16:33.

that she is also the great-niece of C. Bruce Littlejohn SC Supreme Court Chief Justice, Speaker of the SC House of Representatives. That may help too! :)

Ron Paul is My President

She's beautiful, SC Butterfly

Submitted by Lao Tzua on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 13:45.

I love how it looks sort of like she's praying. And we need a prayer here in the USA. That photo will remain throughout history, I believe. It's what they call, iconic. :)

Best part about this

Submitted by BurningsiriusΩ™ on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 13:02.

Is that the future is ours. SC Butterfly has done her part. Time to turn on all the kids to Ron Paul. Next go around we will be exponentially stronger thanks to people like SC Butterfly and her great parenting.

Note to SC Butterfly, the apple does not fall far from the liberty tree :D

Thrilled for both of you!

This is absolutely wonderful!

My 7 year-old son LOVES Ron Paul. He's been hounding me to buy him a Ron Paul t-shirt for a while and anywhere we go if someone brings up politics he proudly proclaims "If I was 18 I would vote for Ron Paul!"

Just this morning I was listening to a clip of Rush Limbaugh arguing with a caller about Ron's foreign policy and my son just shook his head and said, "Mom, that man doesn't know what he's talking about."

"No he doesn't, baby. No he doesn't"

So proud of all the kiddos for Paul :)

Spiral out.

Reason to fight

Submitted by JayEm on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 14:10.

I don't have kid and they are the reason I fight for the cause. People like your boy and the little girl that I saw the other day at the NH polls carrying a RP sign and saying the she likes Ron Paul because he is "un-corruptable". I don't understand how anyone with children could consider anyone else but Ron Paul for their kids future.
