Fox News analyst says we can expect Ron Paul's influence to last for some time.

Last year in this column I wrote: "If you have not been paying attention, it is time to look around and realize that we are living in the political age of Rep. Ron Paul."

The first section of the Wikipedia page entry for the Tea Party Movement even quotes a sentence from that column, where I argued the Tea Party dynamic that won the House majority for the GOP in 2010 "grew largely out of the ashes of (Paul's) 2008 presidential campaign" by emphasizing "limited government and a return to constitutional principles."
