Ron Paul For President!
Great news! Ron Paul is going to be a candidate for the Republican Party nomination for president.
Now, being realistic, he has virtually no chance at all of winning due to his "extremism", so had winning the nomination been the only motive for this, it would have been a very much futile waste of time and money. But as a candidate for the Republican nomination, he will be a real pain in the ass for the Republican establishment, particularly since they during debates between the candidates usually include all of the candidates (unlike the debates before the actual Presidential election, where only the Republican and Democratic candidate is allowed to participate), so he will be able to directly confront John McCain, Rudy Guiliani and other statist Republicans with the shortcomings of their policy, just like he was always a pain in the ass for Alan Greenspan, reminding him of his "dark past" in the 1960s during congressional hearings.

Sounds good. Now, the only thing I know about Ron Paul is that he is a staunch advocate of the gold standard. But that is certainly something.
