Those
are a couple reasons, but you missed the big one: MONEY.

This is true as well. In today's America, honest, honorable men like Paul get marginalized and all we're left with are whores/frontmen for the huge money interests (i.e. Obamney/Rombama) that get them elected.
Even though I don't agree with enough of his platform to be fully behind him, I may well vote for him for one core reason: he's the only honest, non-whore politician on the national stage. I have no illusions about his electability, but contrary to conventional un-wisdom, a vote cast from your conscience and beliefs is
never wasted.
