I do think he could convince quite a few people who a fiscal moderates, if only because there hasn't been anything resembling a fiscal moderate in the US in a LONG time. I think the window has closed on Paul, but if he were 20 years younger... i wouldn't be surprised if he would of got elected in one of the next 2 elections.
The thing about Ron Paul that you probably don't get in New Zealand is there are a lot of people who support... well Ron Paul. Not so much Libretarians in general. He just has some kind of weird force of will that gets people behind him, and without him, there is like 1/4th the support. It was the Same with Ralph Nader and the green party. Without Ralph, they're jokes, even though policy wise they're the same.
Why Ron Paul holds this kind of Charisma... I can't say honestly, I like the guy, but he's far from what I'd consider charismatic, i mean, no offense meant to him, but if i'm not looking at the TV when i hear him speak, i think it's an old woman talking. |
He also isn't much to look at. When Newt Fricking Gingrich is more telegenic than you, you know you've got a problem...
