"Okay fair enough... this one's obvious. Though while possibly nepotistic, Rand Paul's endorsement of his father is also clearly grounded in their shared philosophy of Constitutional Conservatism and their principled application of it to law.

But just to be clear, I certainly wasn't scraping the bottom of the barrel for a tenth conservative figure to include on the list. There were a lot of other voices I could have added, including Ronald Reagan, who made an official endorsement of Ron Paul during a congressional race in the eighties-- the only Reagan endorsement of any of today's GOP candidates.

In addition to Reagan, here are two more videos of respected conservatives saying great things about Ron Paul.

If his father doesn't, I certainly believe that Rand Paul eventually will become president.

And Joe Scarborough:
"When you hear him talk, he's an extremely impressive man... he's brilliant, and he practices what he preaches."
