Breaking from Breitbart...

Panel discussion on PBS's McLaughlin Group on Saturday: 5 minute segment on the influence of Ron Paul and his followers within the GOP.

The discussion centered on Ron Paul helping to spurn the growing Tea Party movement. Paleo-conservative commentator Pat Buchanan chimed in at the end:

[The Tea Party began] after this nomination of Sarah Palin. This enormous surge to McCain. Enormous crowds of people coming out, when he couldn't get a couple hundred people out before then....

Now Ron Paul will do better than he did before because he will get some of those votes. But right now, quite frankly, the one candidate who can get 'em better than anyone else is Ms. Sarah Palin.

Side Note - Roundtable gave predictions on Massachusetts. Four out of five, including McLaughlin, and liberal commentator Clarence Page predicted Scott Brown win. Only Eleanor Clift replied Coakley.
