Roftl
I am this morning, declaring my candidacy for Congress in the GOP primaries against Ron Paul. If he does not resign his seat, and if another Republican candidate does not declare against him, I will run a balls-to-the-wall campaign for Congress in Texas CD 14.
I am the guy that got Ron Paul elected to Congress in 1996. I can and will defeat him in 2008.
Eric Dondero, Fmr. Senior Aide
US Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX)

From Andrew Sullivan:
The reaction from the Rove-bots [to Conservative enthusiasm for Ron Paul] strikes me as unwise. All they’re doing is giving Paul the oxygen of an insurgent outsider. And as we know well from the Bushies, if it’s them against insurgents, the insurgents win.”
