I hope he stays and forces the issues of budgets, tax policy, immigration and Iraq. The leading contenders don't seem as committed to conservative ideals in these areas as I would like. But Ron Paul needs to avoid putting his foot in his mouth again to maintain credibility.

Yep. Andrew Sullivan from May 11: Taking Ron Paul Seriously 11 May 2007 10:17 am The condescension to and mockery of the sole Republican candidate who seems to care about individual liberty has begun to tick me off. Chris Matthews can be heard groaning "Oh, God," after Paul spoke of the "original intent" of the Founders with respect to the Constitution. And in the YouTube clip below, Rudy Giuliani actually seems to be guffawing after Paul's defense of habeas corpus. I'm glad Paul's supporters are fighting back on the web. He deserves more respect than he has gotten thus far, not least because compared to the pandering of his competitors, Paul actually seems to believe what he says. And what he says has more to do with conservatism than the crap the rest of them are peddling. andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com
