Ron Paul Wins to Keep His Seat in Congress
Paul, the Texas congressman who distinguished himself as the only Republican presidential candidate opposing the Iraq war, gained a devoted following, harnessing the power of the Internet to raise more cash than more mainstream rivals.
Paul as an anti-war, libertarian - Republican had to turn his campaigning locally to defend his seat in Congress most recently.
By Z. BYRON WOLF of ABC News:
Paul, who ran for the White House as a libertarian in 1988 but gained more of a following this year as a Republican, did not suspend his presidential campaign, but was forced to scale back his national operation to focus on the race for his Congressional seat in Texas.
“I do think the presidential race has exposed some of his values and principles that are not in line with his district, and that exposure has done him harm at home,” Republican primary challenger Chris Peden said of Paul.
But then there must have been some folks that strongly agreed with him, as he won his primary.

We look forward to their thoughts and insight on the future of the Ron Paul Revolution and his Campaign For Freedom.
Also we will also have Richard Viguerie, often called the “funding father” of modern conservative strategy as his direct mail efforts started the modern conservative movement. 2008 will be a watershed year in American politics in our fight for a return to liberty and limited constitutional government. We must continue the campaign to promote the Ron Paul Revolution of liberty, a return to limited constitutional government and free markets to the American public.
