Ron Paul to Explore Presidential Bid  Ron Paul is going
exploring! The Republican congressman will announce the
formation of a presidential exploratory committee tomorrow,

19 members of the Iowa Republican Party's state central
committee," plus Gimli, Legolas and Boromir; the committee will

"IRL," as he does not hate Muslims enough, but he will win the
