Although he’s still a long shot to win the GOP nomination, Congressman Ron Paul’s limited-government stance is resonating with voters and even some parts of the media.

Although, I can’t agree with all of his stances (returning to the gold standard, the concept of a North American Union), he makes a lot of sense on the whole.
