    I think it's a classic case of the guy who has no chance of getting elected being the most appealing because he can promise the moon.

    But let's say RP did somehow get elected. It would be the most disappointing presidency ever. His supporters would be expecting a sudden change in economic policy, ending the Fed, mass shrinking of government, troops coming home, etc, etc..

    But guess what, the President doesn't directly control any of those things. Unless you elect hundreds of Ron Paul clones to Congress, he would be blocked at pretty much every turn.
