Ron Paul?

Is Ron Paul still running? Not a lot of coverage of him over here or on most media really. I keep an open mind on politics. I have to say while I would probably be inclined to vote democrat, out of all candidates I have seen he made the biggest impression on me. I don't agree with everything he says, but you can't because politicians have to take a position on everything. But overall, had a good message I thought.

Some American friends I know said he didn't have a chance in hell because of the impact he would have had.

Who knows.

    ron paul has been out for a while. I too had to wikipedia him to find any non-biased info (and who knows if that wasnt biased). I thought his basic principles were decent (not all of them), but once he got into the crazy conspiracies and un-orthodox solutions; I lost interest.

    Ron Paul has never dropped of the Presidential race. Officially, he's still running for the republican nomination.
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...

    Yes, I think he had some good principles there.

    Crazy conspiracies and un-orthodox solutions? What were those then?

    Blargoe,

    I think he's a very intelligent and thoughtful man. Assuming he does disappear, do you think his position on some things will have influenced the remaining candidates in positive ways?

    Ron Paul was displaced by Bob Barr.
