While others are urging Fred Thompson to run, the horse I'm currently backing has decided to officially throw his hat in:

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, a strict constitutionalist and fierce anti-war critic, will formally declare his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination Monday when he appears as a guest on a C-SPAN call-in program.

Paul, R-Texas, created a presidential exploratory committee in January, allowing him to begin collecting money on behalf of his bid. Kent Snyder, the chairman of that committee, said Saturday that Paul would make his candidacy official on Monday.

This will be Paul's second try for the White House. He was the Libertarian nominee for president in 1988.

You can read my previous posts on Ron Paul here, here and here.  Granted it's still too early for all this nonsense, but as long as they're doing it, then I might as well blog on it.
