Until the Florida debate I hadn't heard Ron Paul opine on anything. He made some good points, and I liked his take on healthcare, too, but overall I thought he came across as too isolationist. I don't think it's ever a good idea to stick our foreign policy head in the sand - to focus on domestic issues ("get back to the roots of Republican beliefs," as he put it) to the extent that we exclude all else.

Just my 2c.
