There were some things to like about Ron Paul. Certainly a Paul presidency would have been INTERESTING. I think anyone who has been paying attention at all would agree he's DIFFERENT from any other contender we've ever had.
For some reason, he attracted the "Coast to Coast" crowd, the conspiracy theorists, the people who like to talk about UFOs. I think those supporters made.him appear to be even further out of the mainstream than he really was. That may have turned some people off. When you say aliens are coming, the world will end in December 2012, and Ron Paul should be president, I think a lot of people assume that Ron Paul is about as serious as the Mayan calendar - silliness, in their opinion. That's unfortunate.
Now I have to go try to find some accurate, unbiased information about Santorum.
