It's just the names of various candidates running for all kinds of office, follwing the same, or similar message, of the Ron Paul platform.

Looking at the comments of the article, it seems that quite a few were missed, too.

The yellow are the states which have liberty candidates running.

They're not quite extinct yet, but they're getting there, getting ousted by more conservative Republicans in 2010 and more liberal Democrats this year:
