Paul planning presser: Is presidential placement possible?

The Ron Paul campaign released this statement earlier today:

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA - Congressman Ron Paul will hold a press conference in the Ball Room at the National Press Club on Wednesday, September 10th at 10:00 am. Dr. Paul will announce his intentions for the fall presidential election and will be accompanied by several special guests. This event comes on the heels of Dr. Paul's historic three-day Rally for the Republic in Minneapolis, Minnesota that drew over 12,000 supporters.

The news comes as Paul has been added to the Montana ballot as a member of the Constitution Party.

Does this mean he's in the race? What impact does this have on McCain? Obama?
