Full disclosure: In 2008 I voted for Paul in the primary and Obama in the general. I'm not prone to fantasy about Paul's chances but like you am rooting for him and what he stands for. I have seen a lot of these debates, interviews, clips, ads, etc., but the exchange between Paul and Gingrich was perhaps the most emotional I have ever seen Ron Paul.
When his voice quivered slightly and he said his "heart weeps for them," followed by his pithy "I served" rebuttal, I honestly teared up (and I'm not prone to that sort of thing). It will likely be glossed over in the MSM because it doesn't fit any prevailing narratives, but it was the poignant and sincere political moment I have ever seen.
I was struck too.
