Contrary to Paul's claim that he wrote the book, he didn't. Paul used a ghostwriter.

Quote:

But although the congressman from Texas has repeatedly called the book his own work, it was largely written by an unacknowledged ghostwriter, and it is unclear how much Paul contributed to the final product.
Late last year, Tom Woods, a longtime Paul supporter and libertarian scholar who will be speaking at the counterconvention, sent out copies of the manuscript and indicated that he had written the manifesto on Paul's behalf, according to copies of a letter from Woods and an original manuscript obtained by The Washington Post.

It's still Paul's book. Most politicians do provide the ideas which are put into writing by professional writers. From JFK and Barry Goldwater to Clinton and McCain, its standard procedure to ensure quality writing. Maybe if Obama had done so, his books wouldn't sound like they were written by a third-grader...
