"Well, you know, the thought has crossed my mind," the
Kentucky senator said on "Fox News Sunday." "And I am seriously
thinking about it.
"But I'm also very serious about the family considerations."
Paul, a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, said
politics had become "uncivil" and that sometimes "you have a
good week" and other times "the haters and the hacks go after
you."
Paul indicated on Friday that his wife disliked the idea of a
presidential run, ABC News reported.
When asked after a speech in Detroit whether he would run, Paul
replied, "Where's my cellphone? Can I call my wife?"
"There's two votes in my family. My wife has both of them, and
both of them are 'no' votes right now," Paul said, according to
ABC.
