Here is Ron Paul after his second place finish in New Hampshire. I like the fact that he is tie-less. He believes his "liberty" movement is growing, and it surely seems to be. Much of the criticisms he makes seem to be valid. It is so unfortunate that if he runs as a third party candidate, he will hand the presidency back to Barack Obama. That is what I see happening, because he will take votes away from the Republican candidate, not from the "Food Stamp President," who has quite a coalition: millions who use food stamps to buy more food than the rest of us, liberal academics and professionals, feminists, government bureaucrats, wealthy Hollywood liberals, crony capitalists, and labor union thugs.
Paul admits his movement is "dangerous." Dangerous to the "military-industrial complex," dangerous to the federal reserve, dangerous to those who want to control our lives.
Update: Dick Morris does use the word "dangerous" today in talking about yesterday's Ron Paul vote in New Hampshire. He points out that Paul got over 50% of the votes from voters under thirty-years-old, and he says Romney will be required to take that into consideration as he moves forward with what looks like a "cakewalk" to the nomination. Morris was looking to see if Gingrich or Santorum would "separate" from one another, so they could combine forces behind either Gingrich or Santorum, but it did not happen, as each got about ten percent of the vote.

I would like to think most of us that voted for Perot (myself included here) learned their lesson about third party candidates. And if it's the under 30 crowd for Ron, isn't that more of Obama's group than Romney's?
Terri,
Interesting question!
