Ron Paul starting strong in first debate

The first Republican debate of the 2012 US presidential election was held last night in South Carolina. I found this video of Ron Paul’s responses. Looks like he got a lot of time, unlike in the 2008 debates:

He also raised a million dollars online yesterday in the first of probably many moneybombs. He has never expected to win, but runs because the election is the best way to spread his message. The appearance of fellow libertarian Republican Gary Johnson this year is probably a direct result of Paul’s trailblazing.

BTW, I post a lot on twitter under this account – some on the resources sector, some on the markets in general and whatever else I feel like: http://twitter.com/miningalmanac
