It’s official: Rep. Ron Paul is in the race! Are we ready to rumble? We’ll see. There is that little matter of 10,000 signatures on the ballot in Virginia but he did it twice before and we’ll do it again! (One official HINT: Get petition signatures on election day at the polls – most people will sign to get someone on the ballot and practically everyone you speak to is a registered voter!)
There was some positive news: Juan Williams says Paul can win!
Here’s a news bulletin — it is becoming increasingly clear that we are living in a time when Republican politics are being shaped by a 75-year-old, 12-term Texas congressman with a son in the Senate. And incredibly, it is no longer out of the realm of possibility that this outcast of the GOP establishment may win the party’s presidential nomination.
At last week’s debate, hosted by my primary employer, Fox News Channel, I was struck by the libertarian flair the iconoclast injected into the evening. First, his presence along with another libertarian Republican — former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson — allowed for Republicans nationwide to witness a debate in which strong arguments for immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan came from the right.
The man who likely has done more than anyone to put the libertarian philosophy of freedom and small government on the political agenda probably will make another run for the presidency: U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.

Look for the price of diacetylmorphine to drop like a rock as speculators drive down the prices with the prospect of a Ron Paul presidency!
