I previously said I would PREFER Rand Paul, but merely on what I perceive as "winnability". However, I'm happy to have Ron Paul announcing as that will, at least, pretty well guarantee there will be a voice for Constitutional government living within a budget during debates.

But this doesn't give me much hope of that:
