    If the Internet really rallied around him and raised enough money, it's possible.

Umm, no it isn't. Ron Paul could start his own tiny country with a gold standard if he could liquefy his unused campaign money. Dude had a blimp. Why the fuck did he get a blimp!?

He's not going to win but he can push the other candidates towards his positions if he seems to have an impact, particularly an impact in traditional media where most Americans form their opinions. I could even see Elizabeth Warren entering the race if Bernie seems to have a strong base and I have no problem with that.
