Compared to the other candidates seeking the Republican nomination for president, Texas Rep. Ron Paul doesn't have quite as many high-profile endorsements.

Former California Rep. Barry Goldwater, Jr. is backing Paul, but then again, so is "9/11 truther" Alex Jones

But today the Paul campaign announced that former Alaska State Rep. Dick Randolph is backing the 10-term congressman's white house bid.

"I enthusiastically support Dr. Ron Paul's effort to become the next president of the United States because he is the only candidate who clearly understands the fallacy of this policy and has the ideas and moral strength to attempt to correct it," Randolph said in a statement. "

It's not quite as big as getting an endorsement from Chuck Norris, but it does show that Paul's campaign has a lot of momentum in Alaska going into Super Tuesday.
