I mentioned Ron Paul at a dinner with a group of fairly conservative republican types (related to a school event). One was a banker. The most positive response I got was that Ron Paul was a "nice man". When I mentioned abolishing the Fed, I got no comments (and just a stare form the banker). no one had any better candidate, though a couple said they may go with Romney as the least bad choice. I mentioned that more of the same is not going to get us anywhere. Another mentioned that [that crazy] Ron Paul was proposing a [shock] gold standard (and that can't work). I didn't take the time to explain that it could. I did mention that we did not necessarily have to have a gold standard, but that we needed at least US govt. issued currency.
