The Success of Ron Paul

Glen Reynolds thinks that Ron Paul is doing well because, despite Paul's lack of political talent, his libertarian principles are resonating with a large audience. Sorry Glen, I don't think that's right. Sure, most of the devout libertarians side with Paul. Beyond that, however, I suspect Paul is getting the support of a broad swath of "paleo-con" isolationists who are unhappy with the war but can't bring themselves to vote for a democrat.
