Spreading the message at It looks obvious

Spreading the message

despite the fact that I put on my car the bumper sticker, I was never under the delusion that Ron Paul will win the Republican nomination. What I hoped for was that his campaign might help to elevate some of the Libertarians ideas into the mainstream discussion. Even this goal seemed to be slipping a way after the South Carolina debate,and I was not the only one to think so, but I might have been wrong in my concern.

Jeff Jarvis, of the very useful PrezVid, linked to this CNN reports:

CNN reports on who’s hot at Eventful, the site where people demand that celebrities make appearances. Obama’s No. 1, Clinton’s No. 2, and Ron Paul is No. 3; Paul’s the only one who acceded to a demand.

And although the number aren’t really high (as of the time I’m writing this post the number of eventful demand indicates 9826 people in 744 places) they indicate increasing interest, mostly among collage students, to listen to the congressman from Texas and his unconventional Libertarians ideas.

And like Barry Goldwater’s campaign was the opening move in Reagan’s victory maybe Ron Paul will seed enough with Libertarians ideas to change the course of our society and politic.
