I keep wondering about the Ron Paul supporters

Everyone knows that Ron Paul isn’t going to be the next President of the United States, but despite that he still has a strong army of dedicated volunteers and activists who are ready to go at the drop of the hat to do whatever the campaign needs.Yes, some of his ideas are quite “out there,” and yes, he seems like a quirky guy at times. But the fact that he has built such a grassroots army, of what seem to be strong conservative and libertarian activists is something that Republican’s cannot overlook.

I came across this video today on youtube:

Even though the odds are obviously stacked against him, and his people know that he can’t win, they are still ready to go without question. I wish many so-called Republicans would be that loyal and dedicated to their party (particularly many in congress, though we’ll save that for another post)

Now that McCain is going to be the nominee for the GOP, the question that must be asked is how the Republicans are going to tap into what has become this large base (in the activist sense) of Ron Paul supporters?

As of now, I don’t know if there is a way into that base, they seem completely loyal. But eventually, Ron Paul is going to have to step out of the race if he is going to run again for his seat in Texas and I’m hoping these people won’t lose their fire.

Even though Ron Paul supporters don’t agree with John McCain on a few issues, and sure, many probably don’t even like him, at the end of the day the question that has to be asked, is which of the two remaining candidates is going to be the best fit for their issues. I’m hoping that John McCain will be the obvious answer for many of them, especially since this looks like its going to an extremely close election.
