In an article written by a Joel Achenbach on December 14, 2011, he discusses how as of right now people look past Ron Paul but it will change sometime soon. Although he lacks in the overall appearance, like Mitt Romney or Rick Perry, and does not look very much like a force to be reckoned with, candidates better watch their backs because in a split second he can jump to the front of the pack. He is not the type of person to just sit back and relax while other people are doing their business, he would much rather talk about the matter at hand and make sure his ideas are heard. One of his bigger ideas would have to be that he would cut down the federal government so that there are very few skeletal functions. He would also end the welfare state, stop foreign aid, end overseas military action and bring home all the troops. Ron Paul's big idea is to bring back the gold standard. I have learned that sooner or later Ron Paul will be the leading candidate in this race. It will happen because so many people do not take him that serious but things always change pretty fast.
