Ron Paul. An established Representative of Texas with a largely untarnished voting record and unquestioned integrity, a strict constitutionalist and libertarian, a purveyor and advocate of extensive civil liberties, a reliable source in re-establishing American economic independence, and a logical choice for the next president of the United States. Having been purposely underrepresented by the media for over half a decade in presidential elections, Ron Paul holds an incredibly devout voting base that largely consists of frequent internet readers. While occasionally misinterpreted as a quasi-anarchist, Paul is a employer of logic who could benefit the nation through admittedly radical departures from our current direction. As for why I believe Paul remains a potential nominee, he accumulated over 340,000 twitter mentions over the past week, belittling Romney, holding 154,000 and president Obama with 120,000. Such statistics may appear arbitrary, but I feel they're indicative of the educated public's dissatisfaction with news favoritism and gradual realization of how Paul's supposedly ridiculous policies and theories have been proven correct numerous times in the past years. Paul faces numerous hindrances, including his aged appearance, uncommanding voice and projection and differentiation from other candidates. But with Jon Stewart and a majority of the internet on his side, Paul remains a potential frontrunner. He may have underperformed in Iowa, but Paul has not fallen victim to the brief bursts of media coverage and eventual undermining that have plagued Perry, Gingrich, and eventually Santorum. Charting a steady second in New Hampshire pollings and potentially showing an impressive Virginia performance, it's certainly not over yet.

No idea why V for Vendetta's in here, but it serves its purpose.
