I think the guy has tapped into a real wellspring of strong support, but that some of those strong supporters are loons, and that there just aren't enough of them to have a political impact. Since libertarians have been taken for granted by the GOP for a long time, it's nice to see them wake up and smell the coffee, but there aren't enough of them for it to matter that much. I'm not unsympathetic to some of what Paul says.

Some?
Besides - Paul isn't really a libertarian. He spouts a few mantras here and there, but at heart, he's really a populist xenophobe.
