A physician and twelve-term congressman from Texas, the libertarian maverick has launched his third campaign for the office of president.
Msnbc.com’s Michael O’Brien reports Ron Paul has leaned on a brew of disenchanted independents, libertarians and young voters to fuel his campaign. But that formula led Paul to a somewhat disappointing third place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
The Texas congressman’s New Hampshire rallies have drawn enthusiastic crowds numbering in the hundreds. But a significant proportion of those voters have come from out of state, and Paul himself has only spent a few days actively campaigning in New Hampshire, spurring doubts over whether he’ll have left undecided votes on the table.
"I don’t know if we took a couple days off as much as we just stuck to our plan," he explained last Friday in Nashua. "We had a plan …We’ve been up here many, many times."

Made it this far without media support....
Now they have to pay attention and in the process help spread the word....
The alarm clock is ringing and the American people are waking up!!!
Have you had your cup of Liberty today?
Something interesting to note, is that candidates do not win presidential elections without the 'youth vote'. What's so interesting about that? Ron Paul appears to be the only Republican candidate that has mobilized a large base of 'youth voters'.
Ron Paul dominates the 18-29 range and he is strong with independents.
These are the folks who propelled Obama to victory in '08.
Does Chris Mathews hate Ron Paul or is there just a lack of respect there??! - Ron Paul is the real deal. He is electable. The main stream media has made a concerted effort to ignore and marginalize Ron Paul. It is pleasing and inspiring to see that we still have people who can see through the BS and manipulation of the MSM and make informed decisions on what they learn for them selves. It occurred to me last night that a Paul/Santorum team could go all the way.
BTW, love that picture with Ron Paul and his wife - now that's a presidential couple! ...... Get outta my way !!!
