      Candidates Can't Buy Web's Love

      (Newser) - Candidates have spent loads of time and money learning a disappointing truth: you can’t control the Internet. Successful web campaigners like Howard Dean and Ron Paul give the reigns to eager online fans, letting their netroots define them, not vice-versa. That’s a welcome change, says the New York Times’ Matt Bai, from a soul-crushing era of strategic politics. More »

      Paul Hopes Blimp Gives Him a Lift

      (Newser) - The offbeat GOP presidential campaign of Texas Libertarian Ron Paul is soon to have a zany new form of publicity: a blimp. The blimp will launch next week in North Carolina and sail up the East Coast with banners in support of Ron Paul, Politico reports. Bearing slogans such as "Who is Ron Paul?" and "Google Ron Paul," the zeppelin will fly over  those staple villains of Paul's rhetoric, the IRS and Federal Reserve. More »

      Paul Momentum Builds

      (Newser) - Ron Paul’s quixotic campaign for the Republican nomination isn’t really under his control anymore, Salon writes, but rather in the hands of a cult of ardent supporters who have independently flocked to fundraise and canvass for him. For them, Paul isn’t a libertarian outsider—the Texas Congressman is a symbol of freedom and partisan frustration. More »

      Brothel Owner Backs Paul

      (Newser) - Ron Paul found himself on the respectable side of a brothel last week, when the Republican presidential hopeful earned the endorsement of the owner of Reno's Moonlite BunnyRanch. MSNBC anchor Tucker Carlson surprised Paul by engineering the nod, arriving in a limousine with Dennis Hof and two “celebrity prostitutes,” the Reno Gazette-Journal reports. More »

      Ron Paul Is Not Alone

      (Newser) - Maverick Texas congressman Ron Paul is riding a surge of Americans on both sides of the political spectrum now calling themselves libertarians. They tend to be fiscally conservative but socially liberal voters turned off by government intrusions, from warrantless wiretapping to broadcast censorship. And their numbers are up to 9% of Americans, reports the Washington Post. More »

      Feds Seize Ron Paul 'Dollars'

      (Newser) - Federal agents raided the Indiana headquarters of a so-called "sound money" group this week, seizing nearly 60,000 "Ron Paul Dollars"—copper coins bearing the likeness of the renegade Texan congressman, GOP candidate for president and sound-money advocate. The organization has more than $20 million in illegal private currency, dubbed Liberty Dollars, in circulation; they're said to be backed by silver and gold stored in Idaho, the Washington Post reports.

      Paul Pulls In Record Haul From Web

      (Newser) - Ron Paul raised $4.2 million online yesterday, the biggest single-day haul of any Republican candidate in the field, the AP reports. Paul's supporters staged a fund-raising binge connected to the observance of Guy Fawkes Day, a 17th-century British rebel. The huge take speaks to the incredible buzz the libertarian congressman has on the blogosphere, if not yet in conventional polls. More »
