Well start talking. Find out what issues are important to them and I'm sure on many issues they'd love Ron Paul.

That's the thing. No one I know even cares about issues. Politics are as interesting as doing their math homework.
Exactly. Lots of us on here are college students and I've gotten lots of friends who never even heard of Ron before to wanna vote for him simply because of the drug war issue alone.
