Libertarians, 2008?

How come if Ron Paul ran in 2008 he'd get 10-15% in the polls when he didn't do that well in 1988?  Someone said that he'd do 10-15% in the polls.

Well he's a lot more well known now than he was in 1988, given that he's now a member of Congress. However, I highly doubt he could get 10 percent, much less 15 percent. He might be able to get 5 percent however.

Ron Paul was a lame duck Representative in 1988. That said, I don't disagree with your other comments.

Oh ok, I didn't realize he was already in the House as of 1988. However, he is still much more well known today after having spent a lot more time in the House.
