Will there be a Ron Paul effect?

By Wally Edge

Former Republican presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) could end up playing the role of spoiler this year. Though he's not running as a third-party candidate, he turned down an endorsement request from U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and instead urged his supporters to consider supporting third-party candidates instead of "the lesser of two evils".

Paul finished third in the state's primary with 22 percent of the vote.

"Even though everything went the D way, the House managed to pick up some seats. They canʼt just run over us with the budget because if they do they wonʼt have any checks or balances. They want those checks and balances, I think."

- State Rep. Richard DeBolt (R), the incoming state House minority leader, on the Republicans' role in the chamber.
