Columnist Gail Collins (NY Times)

Although Collins doubts Ron Paul will win the presidential election, she defends some of his characteristics and actions after mentioning his faults. Paul has many "pet peeves," or things he does not believe in, like the government issuing marriage licenses. This tends to lead to opposition from his own side as a Republican, which hurts him. He's also very honest, even if he is old-fashioned (in his economic policies especially), or at least attempts to stay true to his original stance in every matter. In all, he cannot be completely disliked, but he is not someone you would want for President.
