In 1988, Ron Paul was just another loser Libertarian candidate in the mold of Harry Browne. Nobody knew him or gave a damn about him. The only reason the Libertarians did well in 1980, was that Ed Clark had Koch money backing him up, allowing him to be a lot more visible. Gary Johnson has had the most exposure by far of any Libertarian candidate since Clark because Johnson was a public figure. Ron Paul, at that time, was nobody. Just another loony toon. Kinda like now, except now he has exposure.
