This bit of news rang in as a surprise. Ron Paul in a fund-raising stampede? What's doing on here? The Republican field is a strange bunch, and here's the old Parliament-burner Guy Fawkes raising his symbolic head on behalf of the libertarian from Texas. This comes from the NY Times blog Caucus, which does fine service in remembering the movie "V for Vendetta," one of the most subversive movies I've seen in years. Subversive to the established order, I mean.
The rebels are on the rise, and it's not only Ron Paul: Dennis Kucinich is banging the impeachment drum louder than ever, and John Edwards says "I'm with you, brother" when someone in the crowd says it's time for a revolution.
UPDATE: Over at DailyKos they're also recognizing that something's up with Ron Paul. Markos himself posts that the fund-raising was the most impressive people-powered thing yet in the presential campaigns. The DailyKos post includes a sharp analysis by Jerome Armstrong of how Ron Paul's internet campaign is different and successful. Lessons to be learned therein.
