Once again, Ron Paul will face a Republican primary challenge for his Congressional seat in 2010:
Katy resident Tim Graney has announced his candidacy for the 14th Congressional District, challenging maverick Republican incumbent Ron Paul.
Grainey, a former small business owner who will be entering his first political race, said the district needs a new voice in Congress, particularly in the area of foreign policy.
“It is time for Ron Paul to step down and step aside so he can pursue his own interests while a new statesman emerges to represent the district,” Graney said. “I told him so Sunday afternoon.”

“I am a fiscal conservative, but I do not support Ron Paul’s weak foreign policy views, nor do I support his do whatever you want ultra-Libertarian views that conflict with our American values,” Graney said.
Last year, Paul handily defeated Chris Peden in a primary election, and he did the same thing two years before to Cynthia Sinatra, who happens to be the ex-wife of Frank Sinatra, Jr.
I doubt this guy will have any better luck.

Mr Watson,
If you do any research at all, you will find Ron Paul did not drop out of the primaries until the fate of McCain was sealed.
