We'll see..

As the article stated, R leadership gets the final say on this

color me cynical but I bet he gets stiffed...

The best news is how up front and open this process needs to be. We have to keep as many members of the public as possible in tune with this. We have to raise Caine if they pull tricks.

Short of him being president, this has to be the next best position for Ron, isnt it?

I think it is unlikely he will get it to be honest, as he has been denied the position in the past when he was next in line. But hopefully his heightened popularity and support among the tea party will help ensure he isn't overlooked.

"In 2003, Ron Paul was in line to be chairman of the Domestic Monetary Policy Subcommittee.... Specifically and solely to frustrate Ron from being the chairman, they merged the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy with the Subcommittee on International Monetary Policy. Ron Paul then complained to [then-Majority Leader] Tom DeLay, and Tom DeLay told [then-Chairman Mike] Oxley [R-Ohio] "Don’t change it."... Two years later, even though they merged the two subcommittees in the progression, Ron was then again ready to be chairman, this time of the combined one. [Then-Rep. Deborah] Pryce [R-Ohio] was dragooned to come back and assert a subcommittee chairmanship.... Ron at that point said to me, "I guess I have to wait for you to be chairman for me to have any authority around here." The Republican Party was a staunch defender of the Fed against Ron Paul."
