Dubuque, Ia. - It might be harder for Ron Paul to beat his fellow Republicans for the opportunity to face Barack Obama than to defeat the president himself, the Texas Republican said Monday.

Paul visited Dubuque for the first time ever for a lunch-hour speech about how government whistleblowers should be better protected, how gold and silver should be allowed as everyday currency and how the government has "no right to snoop on you."

At the Stone Cliff Winery in the riverfront area, Paul drew whistles and hearty applause from a crowd of about 160, a more robust crowd than expected for a weekday, his staff said.
