Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul's rampant Internet popularity is about to take an amusing new shape.
WoW Insider reports that a World of Warcraft guild will march from the Alliance cities of Ironforge to Stormwind (GP: that's a helluva long walk!) on New Year's Day in support of Paul's candidacy. From the WoW Insider story:
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul's internet regiment has come to World of Warcraft - a group of his supporters are planning to form a guild on Whisperwind and do a march from IF to Stormwind (which means they'll probably be Gnomes or Dwarves, which is too bad, because I liked the idea of "Trolls for Ron Paul") on New Year's Day at 8:30pm EST.
The Ironforge to Stormwind route was probably selected because those cities are close to starter locations. That gives Ron Paul supporters who may not have a character on the Whisperwind server the opportunity to quickly create one and jump right into the march without the need to spend time leveling up.
The question now becomes: will Horde players mount a raid in an attempt to disrupt the march?
GP: Actually, no. I just took a quick look and found that Whisperwind is not a PvP server.

The problem that you're facing here is that a lot of us are basing our opinions of Ron Paul on what HE has said and nothing else. Do you honestly expect us to dig beyond the things he's said in interviews and other television and radio appearences?
We don't need to dismantle social security, medicaid OR medicare. What we need to do is find a better way to fund them. Here's the dirty little question I've never heard him answer. What happens to the people who need those programs to survive? What happens to the people who depend on medicaid and medicare to pay for their medical bills because they can't afford anything else? Should those people just die off so we don't have to worry about them anymore?
Those are questions that people with Ron Paul's positions never seem to want to answer. Oh they'll play the Washington two-step around the question but I've never seen anyone answer with any degree of honesty.
haha gotta love Windows......
