The Iowa GOP made a brilliant decision by inviting Rep. Ron Paul and Dr. Tom Woods to headline their state convention this weekend. It is obvious that Paul is the only Republican who can challenge President Obama in 2012.

Paul's blunt honesty when it comes to dangerous, misguided foreign policy and the inhumane, failed “War on Drugs” will certainly make him a favorite of independents. Paul is easily the most qualified presidential candidate due to his stunningly accurate economic predictions and his impressive knowledge on the Federal Reserve and monetary policy. Hopefully the rest of the Republican Party can follow his courageous lead.
