seriously i remember for the republian nomination in 2008 everyone was putting ron paul signs on the driveways and bumper sticers on their cars.i live in illinois to which is a high democratic state. i also have been to other states during the time and ron paul was popular everywhere i went. i also went online and many people loved ron paul and hoped he would be the republican nom, but how much did he end up getting? like 2% or 3% of the votes? lmao, why is ron paul so popular if nobody voted for him?
