I have never seen such a diverse coalition rallying to a single banner. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Greens, constitutionalists, whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asian-Americans, antiwar activists, homeschoolers, religious conservatives, freethinkers--all were not only involved, but enthusiastically so. And despite their philosophical differences in some areas, these folks typically found, to their surprise, that they rather liked each other." (pg. 4) While what you mean by "marching arm and arm with" the Left is somewhat vague, that's nevertheless exactly the picture Paul paints here based upon his fundraising experience over the last year.
