Ron Paul ran for President as a Libertarian once and that's where his affiliation with the party stopped. He's been a Republican congressman ever since he's been in congress.
As for people only voting for Obama because he was black that's ridiculous and there's no support for that claim whatsoever. Obama ran a brilliant campaign with even more brilliant rhetoric. If he was white he would have won. Hell any credible Democrat would have won this election. They got more seats in both houses as well. It had quite a bit to do with actual politics.
