For Gary D. & the rest of the Ron Paulers in Hucks Nation, state Rep. Phil Hart will be singing Ron Paul's praises at the Donut Shop, 8761 Government Way/Hayden, at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Ron Pauler extraordinaire Jim Hollingsworth has circulated an email to friends, stating: "There are probably few in our area who know Ron Paul and what he stands for as does Phil Hart.  He has watched him for a very long time and has concluded that he stands where he says he stands.  So far no one has come up with a plan to end the federal debt, but Ron Paul has." Hart's talk is titled "Only Ron Paul can set America back on right path." Hollingsworth continues: "We have plenty of signs, slim jims, buttons and bumper stickers. Also someone has donated 10 of Ron Paul’s new books on a first come first served basis." See ad here. (AP file photo)

Question: Does it help/hurt Ron Paul's cause locally to have Artful Tax Dodger Phil Hart pleading his case?
