nominee so i want to talk about what we can call the ron paul effect with julie barofsky or ron paul supporter julie let's talk about these numbers of the young vote first of all what you know ron paul is the oldest candidate here why is it that his message resonates with so many young people yet is kind of strange to see a seventy six year old me and a very conservative very villages get so much support from young people and i think one of the reasons is because ron paul tells it like it is he doesn't sugarcoat things he has a consistent record he's going to do what he says in his plan to restore america he wants to cut one trillion dollars in the first year alone he's talking about big ideas and the other candidates are not so you think that's something the resonates with young people. it's interesting because there seems to be a feeling of being threatened by ron paul and some of the supporters also so this is what happens in presidential primaries you know votes for one candidate means that those votes don't go to other candidates but some conservatives say they've had enough and
