Well I'd have to vote for Paul now.

A few days before the election circus in the US will start with the Iowa’s caucus, presidential candidate Ron Paul made a comment on the pending SOPA bill
“They want to take over the Internet,” he said.

“Can you imagine how much we’re going to be curtailed in the spreading of out information if we lose the Internet?”

Paul says that while SOPA is claimed to stop piracy, it’s mostly going to invade the privacy of citizens and restrict their freedom.

Ron Paul currently leads the majority of Iowa polls.

Ok, this is a dubious source and Paul apparently came out against SOPA a month ago. If I had to vote R, though, I'd rather vote for somebody I have some agreement with and who doesn't just say what the tea leaves indicate.
