Of course you're right; Dr. Paul is no longer even running, officially. He did the right thing and decided to defuse his candidacy before it become about one single man. Now it is about a movement to change the entire political paradigm.
We are preparing to do serious work immediately after the election. Dr. Paul held a press conference to endorse four "third-party" candidates: Cynthia McKinney, Bob Barr, Ralph Nader, and Chuck Baldwin.
This is no longer about stale ideological divisions between "right" and "left." I am 30 years old, and my generation has no interest in perpetuating the "culture war" madness wrought by the Vietnam War. We got our own problems, and we're beginning to be ready to speak with one voice. There is still a lot of work to do, and discourse that needs to occur.
I might be unbearably idealistic to some, but I'm not that naive.
