5. Dan O'Connor is a Ron Paul supporter

He is a libertarian and a Ron Paul supporter running as a democrat because that is the only viable party in that congressional district.

His campaign launch party was thrown by this Ron Paul Group
http://www.meetup.com/nycforronpaul/events/32005642/

He is endorsed by Ron Paul support groups:

Here is an article by Dan O'Connor loving Ron Paul:

His campaign website is full of misleading half truths.

He does not mention any issues important to democrats such as Medicare, Social Seurity, minimum wage, labor issues, medicaid/welfare/foodstamps, the need for government action to expand access to health care, etc.

Instead he only talks about the usual Ron Paul issues, where he may happen to agree with democrats on war, civil liberties, and trade treaties. We may agree with libertarians on some issues, but that's not even half of what matters.

This is no democrat. This is a Ron Paul supporter in disguise.
Basically he want to make out with Ron Paul, he can't stop talking about Ron Paul:
