BRETT BAIER: Texas Governor Rick Perry obviously is not here tonight. He’s giving a speech
on Saturday in South Carolina. We’re told he’s getting into this race, but he’s
not answering questions tonight. He’s not taking part in the straw poll on Saturday.
So, is he outsmarting you — 30 seconds — Congressman Paul?
RON PAUL: Maybe he didn’t want to face up to the challenge, for all we know.
(BOOM BOOM BING!!!)
(APPLAUSE)
BAIER: Are you worried about this strategy?
PAUL: Oh, no. I’m very pleased that he’s coming in, because he represents the status
quo. And I feel like I’m sort of separated from the other candidates with my strong belief
in liberty and limited government and different foreign policy, and wanting to deal with the
Fed. So he’ll just gather all their votes.
(BOOM BOOM BING!!!)
(APPLAUSE)
BAIER: OK.
