"The worst president in American history is Abraham Lincoln, who slaughtered 700,000 Americans!"

A hot, sticky crowd, overflowing from a room meant for 478 people, whoops it up when Andrew Napolitano makes that claim. They are here for the Liberty Forum, an unofficial offshoot of the 36th annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC. All of them are supporters of Ron Paul.

The persistent popularity of Paul, the 72-year-old libertarian congressman who raised $35m in a quixotic Republican presidential bid, is one of the head-turning shocks of CPAC. Walk into the Omni Shoreham Hotel, the site of the conference, and a smiling volunteer for the Campaign for Liberty – Paul's new organisation – will hand you a flyer for one of their meetings. They're everywhere.
