Most people know little, if anything about him. This is by design, as anyone who is truly committed to the welfare of the people, rather than to the narrow interests of campaign contributors with deep pockets, MUST be given as little media coverage as possible. The only media coverage he gets is from spots that his campaign can afford to pay for, and from appearances in televised debates. Hence, most people never know a thing about him until he pops up at a debate and then they realize, hey, this guy is articulating the same positions that I believe in.
But, most Americans, mentally, are no better than sheep, easily manipulated by their ancient ancestral compulsions to fit into the pride. So, they end up being programmed by the loudest voices coming from their TV and radio [the roar of a pride's male lion can be heard as far away as 8 kilometers], and they conform to whatever mindset they think will allow them to remain in the pride.
After the debate, the talking heads program into you what to believe and not to believe. The other lions in the pride second that emotion. And, you hear nothing else about Ron Paul until the next debate.
Out of sight, out of mind.
