Ron Paul’s Revolution

And his personal history—as an adviser to both Presidents Bush—might have inclined him toward the triumphant establishment candidate, John McCain. But in Ron Paul and the movement that championed him, Wead saw something remarkable: “His is a campaign of ideas. … His army was left unchallenged on the battlefield. Now their ideas have taken root and they will grow.”

Woah–intense video. I didn’t know that ‘Iron Man II’ was already coming out.
In all seriousness, though, presidential races have never been about ideas. But I agree with McCarthy here when he says that Paul started something that will last beyond November.

It’ll last if people like the two of you keep it going.
Seriously, give me a good reason why this shouldn’t be a required event in our office?
