Paul has had over thirty years to build a reputation as "Dr. No", a defender of civil liberties, an opponent of foreign intervention, etc. he's used his platform as a Congressman much more than Johnson has as a Governor to push his political agenda, has actually run on a Libertarian ticket, and also has a Presidential campaign from four years ago that has built him organization and once more, name recognition. Paul is the leader of the movement, Johnson's a goofy follower. (I personally think Johnson could've been a good candidate had he run in the right year, 2000 or 2008. He was a popular governor from a swing state with a good fiscal record. However, he's waited til ten years after leaving office to try something and no wonder he's failed, especially when originally it was thought he'd support Paul or vice-versa)
