AP, WSJ, and CNET
I pretty nice story came out on the AP wire, and has shown up on ABC. From that story:
Bush "did nothing but increase the size of government. The Republican Party needs to move back to its core principles," Knapp said. Many Paul supporters share Knapp's disdain for what he called a "neo-conservative clique" and hope Paul can spark a Goldwater-style insurgency.
I think that's exactly what we are looking at. Except Paul is really like Goldwater, but replace his foreign policy with that of Taft, Washington, and Jefferson (i.e. non-intervention). Also there was decent article in the Wall Street Journal, which is surprising considering the neo-conservative leanings of that paper. I like how they describe the Iowa Straw poll (following two supporters).
On Saturday, Messrs. Morey and Hansen pulled into a parking lot alongside Romney buses. As mostly older passengers marched off in line behind Romney aides holding "Follow Me" signs, the two men chuckled at the contrast with the free-thinking, free-lancing Paulites.
Note that one inaccuracy is that it says he has "favored" gay marriage. It would be more accurate to say he does not support a federal ban on gay marriage, and would leave the issue to the states.
Finally, there is some video of Dr Paul's visit to New Hampshire on CSPAN - part 1, 2, and 3. Pete, of Pete's gun shop is quite a hoot. At one point he says that one of his friends says of Giuliani - "I'm not going to to vote for that son of a b...., he is against everything I stand for". And he wasn't too kind to Romney either - made fun of him saying he has hunted all his life, yet never had a hunting license. At the end, he tells Dr Paul to go kick some a...
