Ron Paul in Nevada

Paul came in a disappointing third place even though all the polling on Paul shows high favorability. I believe voters swallowed the unelectablity narrative. It might take a few more elections before a libertarian can make real progress running for high office and have a chance of winning.

I hope we can at least get more libertarians in Congress, which is probably more effective anyway regarding systemic changes. As I've written before, it might take more economic hardship to force people into embracing the idea of radical change to our statist system. It's a shame more Americans aren't educated in economics -- they would have much less fear of free market principles -- in fact, they would fight for free market principles and do everything in their power to protect them from violation.
