Ron Paul, has been perhaps one of the best Constitutional purists, but he may not be quite the best for motiviating the grassroots conservatives, or the Democrat pro-liberty, pro-constituionalists and Catholics.
Todd Akin could almost instantly win the support of the displaced social conservatives (the religious right-wing) and yet he still has sufficient pragmatism and appeal to win over the blue-collar conservatives (who normally vote Democrat).
Keep in mind that there are a huge number of Democrats (40%+) who support conservative values but would never vote Republican for historical, tribal reasons.

I looked him up. He sounds good.
I didn't see a rating from GOA. Do you know how they rate him?
