PBS's NOW has an excellent interview with Zephyr Teachout -- who was the director of online organizing for Howard Dean's 2004 campaign -- about the Ron Paul phenomenon.
There is some part of the Ron Paul story that is a little bit of expression of anger at how limited our political debate has become. The feedback for a lot of media, I think, is unfortunately very small because we spend a lot of time—or political reporters spend a lot of time—around political staff. And they have their own set of language, metrics, fundraising, and what's serious and what's not serious, and what's okay and what's not okay, and what's crazy, and what's not crazy.
