I need a nominee with soul power, and Fred Thompson ain't got no soul power

I went to see Of Montreal play last night, which was amazing in its own right, but notable here because the opening act, Pittsburgh trash-rappers Grand Buffet, plugged Ron Paul on stage. I wasn't sure whether to take that endorsement as a sign of Ron Paul's perverse ubiquity, or whether I should take the audience's indifference to Ron Paul as a sign that he's not as well-supported as I thought. It's hard to say: Chicago's a pretty Blue town, it's hard to imagine them getting riled up for any Republican.
