my mistake, Md....I thought this discussion was all related to "paul registers only 1% of the republicans, what makes anyone believe that he can get even to 1% of the overall voters??" If Paul's current Republican supporters include founding fathers and Taft era Republicans, then I'm not so sure he will poll better with the public at large.

Their foreign policy is closer to the quintessentially liberal Wilson and FDR than anything else. Their domestic policy is warmed up LBJ Great Society with a more religious sales pitch.
