Former Texas Rep. and perennial presidential candidate Ron Paul may have let his son's campaign cat out of the bag on Friday, telling longtime TV host Larry King that his son, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, is running for the White House in 2016.

'Yes, I think it's great he's doing it,' the elder Paul said on King's show 'PoliticKing,'produced by ORA.tv and broadcast on the RT (Russia Today) network.

'He has a good message and he understand free-market economics and I just think that its doing a world of good. But I also know the power and strength of the establishment and its a tough row to hoe.'

But a Rand Paul campaign insider familiar with the politician's decision-making told MailOnline hours later that his father got ahead of himself, saying that 'Senator Paul has not made a decision yet.'
