Ron Paul has really interested me so far too. I'm not sure I'd vote for him in the end, but I sure would like to see him on the final ballot over any other republican.
One of the reasons I like him is that it's always bugged me is how much the federal government focuses on governing our everyday lives. That isn't their job and he knows it. The federal government is here to protect us and our constitutional rights. The states are the ones that should have the power to determine what is and isn't allowed in their borders, be it gay marriage, legalization of weed (or hell, any other drug if they decide), or any other hot topic of the day. At most, the feds should be facilitating cooperation between the states.
I also hope Obama is the other name on the ballot...not so much because I think he's great (though he does look promising), but because Hillary Clinton is a succubus who hates freedom. She epitomizes the whole damned "but think of the children" line of thinking that believes it's congress' job to parent our kids, not ours.
Either way, we obviously need a major change and Paul/Obama are the two that are closest to what I'd ideally like to see.
