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.

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.
