Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul hasn't fared well in the polls, but he demonstrated that he still has plenty of passionate supporters at a visit to Gettysburg today.

Paul drew a crowd of 800 vocal supporters at the Majestic Theater. He again made a pitch for limited government, more responsible government spending and an end to the war in Iraq.

"It's great to be among true believers," said Paul, a graduate of Gettysburg College.

"I'm glad the revolution is alive and well here in Pennsylvania and in Gettysburg because there's still a lot of enthusiasm for what we have been doing," said Paul.

Realistically, Paul has no chance of catching John McCain, the Republicans' presumptive nominee. McCain has won enough delegates to take the nomination. But Paul says he will remain in the race as long as he has support. He did say, however, that he would not launch a third-party bid if he doesn't get the nomination.
