How about a basketball or soccer star, or well-known Olympian?  Or Obama, any member of the British "royal family", or even Oprah (imagine a libertarian Book of the Month)!  Now we're talking influence!

If Ron Paul deconverts, he would just be even more marginalized, and besides he promotes political means, which we know don't work. Alex Jones is considered a crackpot. PZ Myers, that could do a bit of good, but he is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. None of these people are well-known though.
