Anti-war Republican
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, an old-fashioned conservative with a strong libertarian streak, inspires a small but growing base of fervent admirers with his strict interpretation of Congress' powers

WASHINGTON - No matter who shows up at this week's Republican presidential debate in Baltimore, it's a good bet the biggest applause will go to the most conservative man onstage.

He's Rep. Ron Paul, a perfect protest candidate for 2008. Trained as a physician, he's "Dr. Paul" to a small but growing base of fervent admirers - more than a few of whom could fairly be called zealots.

Around the Capitol, the Texas congressman is "Dr. No," for his frequent, and often lonely, insistence on opposing any legislation that, in his view, exceeds the authority explicitly given to Congress by the framers of the Constitution.

Now, at 72, this enemy of central government is finding overnight success in some unusual places, such as college campuses.

More donations than last quarter? This could be a hint of very good news to come.

"has won election to a House district on the fringes of the Houston metro area."

Am I being picky here? It seems they like to sneak in words like "fringes" to lend an air. Yesterday, it was Ron Paul "trolls" for votes. There have definitely been other cases, but they don't come to the front of my mind.

I think he's probably talking about Jeff Frazee. Remember when he was collecting money for Students4Paul?
