Long time lurker, first post.
Revolutions catch like wildfire, and I think Ron Paul could be a spark, but most of the US has been hosed down with high fructose corn syrup and 60" of HDTV 24/7. You don't really have to assassinate people anymore, you just make the population so apathetic that nothing ever really gains any traction. Until enough people lose all that comfort and relative safety, no revolution, soft or hard will take hold.
I'll still most likely vote for him, unless there is some dark horse of truth and justice out there preparing for a run at the White House. I hate to be overly pessimistic, but it feels like saying someone is the best candidate for president is like saying that one particular inmate is the most sane in a mental institution.
