Our focus here at Boston Daily has primarily (get it?) been on the front-runners in today’s contest in New Hampshire, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been following the excitement around our boy Ron Paul.

After a decent finish in Iowa, the man who would be the hands-off president is thriving in the land of like-minded libertarians (Live Free or Die!), and his supporters have brought a much-needed element of the absurd to the last-minute campaigning.

While we’ve been talking about Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Barack Obama today, we haven’t forgotten about who’s really important in the 2008 presidential primaries—Ron Paul.

The Boston Daily Official Fringe Candidate pulled a respectable 10 percent to come in 5th in last night’s Iowa caucuses. While we’re disappointed that our boy didn’t topple the establishment last night, we’ve still got reason to believe.

And that reason is Glenn Jacobs, better known as Kane to fans of the WWE. The wrestling superstar has endorsed Ron Paul. (Link via Wonkette.)

Much like annual performances of A Christmas Carol, there are only so many ways a politician can do a holiday-themed campaign ad. Of course, each politician will have festive music playing, keep the mud-slinging to a minimum, and will try to avoid alienating Jewish voters. But when we saw Mike Huckabee’s new holiday campaign spot, we were irate. Not because of its heavy Christian message, but because he stole the whole concept from our boy Ron Paul.

Much like seeing The Sixth Sense after our friend gleefully told us the ending, we were sorely disappointed in the Ron Paul blimp experience this weekend. Yes, we know it was windy and precipitating all day, but going from “dropping tea in the harbor from a blimp” to what actually transpired is almost as bad as knowing Bruce Willis‘ character is dead from the get-go. (Spoiler alert!)

This weekend’s upcoming nor’easter isn’t only wreaking havoc with our holiday theater plans, but it also canceled the political event to end all political events. We were shocked to find that our boy Ron Paul won’t be bringing his airship to Boston this weekend. (Link via Bostonist.)

Ron, we thought we knew you.

In this age of new media, it takes a lot for a candidate to stand out. Mitt Romney held a contest for his supporters to create their own campaign ad. Mike Huckabee has created a YouTube hit with his Chuck Norris-approved spot. But our man Ron Paul doesn’t need such newfangled technology to get his point across.

All he needs is a blimp.

Greetings from the Ron Paul bandwagon. Last week, we were pretty much the only media-type people who openly admired the Texan’s huge fundraising bonanza and his commitment to fiscal conservatism. Today, we’ve noticed it’s getting a little crowded up here.
