Odds may be are in favor of it, even:
"Challenger gives Ron Paul a run for his money in congressional contest"
".... Paul has drawn a well-funded, well-connected challenger in the Republican primary.... He’s also been telling his donors that he needs cash for the congressional run....
Chris Peden, the Friendswood City Councilman [is] giving Paul a run for his money... as of Dec. 31, Peden had raised twice as much money as Paul for the congressional race. Federal rules say you’re not allowed to use presidential campaign money to run for Congress. So even though Paul raised millions for the presidential run, they’re no good for the contest in District 14."
