The Internet phenomena that is Ron Paul's base considers it's next best option...Barack Obama. Cheers to that. I am biased of course, but given Obama's open government and technology platforms(64k pdf) as endorsed by Lawrence Lessig, I'd say Obama stands alone as the next best choice for Paul supporters concerned about matters of privacy, government transparency, and issues such as net neutrality.
Via DMIESSLER.COM: "Question: When Do We, As Paul Supporters, Switch to Obama?
Ron Paul just took 3% in Florida, and most states have been going similarly. I'm thinking what everyone else is thinking, but now I'm thinking it out loud.
When do we call gg and switch our energies to keeping Romney or McCain out of office? In other words, when do we give up and start supporting Obama?
Perhaps there are those among you that don't like Obama, but here's something to consider: you should vote for him for the same reason you'll vote for Paul even though he doesn't believe in evolution. He's an honest man with common sense."
Will we see a Ron Paul bump in Obama's February 5th poll numbers?

Hey, Ernest. I happen to be a Paul supporter, and I can show you exactly where Paul and Obama are on exact opposite ends of the spectrum:

The biggest issue with most Paul folks is that government is too "big", and is growing bigger by the day. We don't want government to grow, we want it reduced. As you'll see on the link I've provided, there is no bigger proponent of big government amongst the candidates than Barack Obama.
That spells out for a big old "no can do" for this Paul girl.
if one is voting democratic i would reconmmend obama
being a paul supporter i am not happy about that.
the point is that paul can still get the nomination.
i can only hope a real debate can be had for at least few months if he does.
