Ron Paul's Heirs or Will the Revolution Be Televised in 2010?

The 2008 campaign may be over but the lasting "revolution" spawned by Rep. Ron Paul's (R-Texas) candidacy continues to echo through the political world.

Paul, capitalizing on a healthy distrust of government and his strident opposition to the war in Iraq, became an Internet phenomenon -- using the web to raise an astounding $35 million for his longshot candidacy.

The financial network built by Paul during his presidential race has, somewhat amazingly, continued to produce for two men seeking to serve as the Congressman's political heirs.

Rand Paul, who is running for the Senate in Kentucky and is the son of the Congressman, has already raked in $822,000 despite the fact that nearly the entire GOP establishment in the Bluegrass State has lined up behind Secretary of State Trey Grayson.
