Ron Paul’s Youth Appeal

The Takeaway

With neatly combed white hair, conservatively cut suits, and solid military service, Ron Paul may not seen like the fiery political outsider that all the kids are rallying around. But looking ahead to the New Hampshire primaries, pollster John Zogby says “Ron Paul gets 35 percent of Independents and 54 percent of 18 to 29 year olds.” Many young voters in this age group are drawn to Paul’s  hard-line libertarian politics, particularly his anti-war stance. Kathryn DeLong is chapter leader of Youth for Ron Paul at SUNY Buffalo. Also joining the program is Nick Murray, chapter leader of Youth for Ron Paul at University of New Hampshire. They discuss why they are die-hard Paul supporters.
