Without question the most Constitutionally bent and driven member of the US congress, Representative Ron Paul, has opened an exploratory committee by filing to judge his prospects for the 2008 race.

"Ron Paul, the iconoclastic nine-term congressman from southeast Texas, took the first step Thursday toward launching a second presidential bid in 2008, this time as a Republican."..more there

ed: most interesting. For those who aren't aware of him, he is the major thorn in the Rs side on things (because he is traditional, not even close to being a neocon), and he keeps getting re-elected despite the top R party ignoring him. The grassroots really like the guy. He said previously he didn't want to run again because of perceived actual physical threats (he is a big threat to the established scam banking industry and various power brokers, because he tells the truth about things from the economy to the wars, etc), but apparently he has changed his mind.

Here is his House site Rep Paul

I looked to see if there were any websites for a potential run up yet, one has just been parked, but I don't know if it is official, it could just be a squatter. I imagine the real one will show up shortly off his main page.

Does he know what he's getting into? Look at McCain, 2000, South Carolina. If he gets a Perot-style wave of popular support, we'll see the media jammed with the smear campaign of the decade.

that's alright, the value of having his viewpoints being broadcast to the public would far outweigh those kinds of problems.

I've done some research into this guy, and I figure he's about 80% of what I want in a candidate. Compare that with 3% for Bush and 2% for Gore. Paul sounds like the only Congresscritter who actually understands the Constitution and what the government's role is supposed to be. He has my vote.

Incidentally, I noticed that all usual TLDs for ronpaulforpresident were bought-up on Wednesday by various parties. I hope they didn't all get swallowed up by cybersquatters.
