We have a real-world example of this. I know there are a lot of people who didn't like Ron Paul, but even they would have to admit that he was a constitutionalist and a fiscal conservative, like Jefferson.
As popular as he was with some, he was generally scorned or ignored by the media.
Even being the only Republican candidate with a voting record that was consistent with his platforms didn't help him.
Yet, his limited success was somewhat heartning. Especially his following amongst the internet community. The last free society on Earth. Even if it is populated by 50m3 pplz who t47k 71k3 tihs.
