Writes the great Hayekian Sudha Shenoy from Australia: "My feeling is that the 'Ron Paul factor' is here to stay -- permanently, irrespective of what happens now. The _ideas_ & _ideals_ that RP has given expression to, will continue to gain greater & greater influence in the future. I feel they've had a profound & transformative impact on people's thinking _and_ on their emotions & values. In the future, Ron Paul's campaign will emerge as a turning-point. More people will take these ideas & ideals _seriously_ & many will find they _have_ to jettison their previous statist notions & reflex responses. It's not going to be easy, but I think more & more people will find themselves going through the uncomfortable process of re-thinking & transformation."
