Arlo Guthrie Endorses Ron Paul

Singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie, who wrote the anti-war anthem "Alice's Restaurant," has endorsed libertarian Republican Ron Paul in his quixotic quest for the presidency.

Mark Memmott and Jill Lawrence write in USA Today's On Politics blog:

Arlo Guthrie — of Alice's Restaurant fame and son of folk legend Woody Guthrie — has endorsed Republican Rep. Ron Paul's bid for the White House.

"I love this guy," Guthrie says in a statement released by the Paul campaign. "Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of the United States had he been there. I'm with him, because he seems to be the only candidate who actually believes it has as much relevance today as it did a couple of hundred years ago. I look forward to the day when we can work out the differences we have with the same revolutionary vision and enthusiasm that is our American legacy."
