Take out peoples emotions and feelings and what they needed was someone like Paul. They needed someone like Obama who brought hope and the appearance of change. Hopefully he surrounds himself with good people who will guide him through the hard economic times ahead.
Go solve a mystery.
See I think that is where you are wrong. Ron Paul did a lot of the same things that Obama did.
- Build a grass roots movement.
- Build an ideological goal for people to reach (Libertarianism).
- Raise massive amounts of money through the internet.
- Stand up for those that felt disenfranchised by the republicans.
- Inspired with a more direct, simpler message of change.
I believe he raised the second most money of the candidates during the primaries; second only to Obama.
RP could not make it a civil issue, but he most certainly struck a cord with people's emotions and feelings, just in a different way.

In short I'm happy he won, but please lets see what he actually does as president before we proclaim him to be great.
i have a feeling that he will never be able to live up to what people expect him to do but at least he has the chance to try.
