Ron Paul, G.O.P. Loner, Comes In From Cold

The New York Times looks at Ron Paul and the movement he started. Here's a quote:
The walls of Mr. Paul’s Congressional office are devoid of the usual pictures with presidents and other dignitaries. Instead, there are portraits of Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard, titans of the Austrian school. For years, Mr. Paul would talk about their ideas and eyes would glaze over. But during his presidential campaign, he said he began to notice a glimmer of recognition among those who attended his events, particularly on college campuses.
The libertarian revolt against the state.
