I see Paul got the David Duke endorsement.

Maybe he's not a joke, but he's an extreme long shot. He doesn't have a one in a thousand chance of becoming president IMO. I think what's more interesting than the chances of him winning, is his ideas. I'd like to see some of them picked up by others. I don't support "get out of Iraq now", and I'm not a gold bug, and I don't support votes like these "He was one of two Republicans to vote against funding the Defense Department in 2008, and against urging the release of Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi." Well not voting for funding the defense department was presumably an anti-Iraq war protest vote, not a serious belief that the defense department should be zero funded, and not voting for the resolution urging the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, was probably a "we shouldn't interfere with other countries" vote not a "Aung San Suu Kyi should stay in jail" vote, but still I'd disagree with those motivations as well. But he is the only candidate from either party that's seriously for a smaller government, and that counts for a lot.
