Ron Paul: I Would Consider Judge Napolitano As My Vice President

Republican hopeful Ron Paul recently told an audience that he would consider tapping former Fox Business News host Judge Andrew Napolitano as his running mate.

“One time somebody asked me who I would consider and the name Judge Napolitano jumps right out at me,” Paul said to raucous cheers of approval.

“But when you think about the danger of mentioning one or two means that you’re not going to mention quite a few others that would certainly be qualified.” he said. “That’s a great story, you know, the fact that there are a lot of people now that are well known and well educated and know the issues and would do a very good job.”

Napolitano implicitly endorsed the Texas Congressman in January, saying “Only one man remains faithful to the principles of free market and small government. To the Constitution and to personal freedom. To defending the nation without being the world’s police force. Only one. You know who he is.”
