Rand Paul Takes Polling Lead - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine
Libertarian intrusions into Republican primaries are nothing new. But what separates Rand Paul from most other libertarian candidates (including his father) is that Rand is not a novelty act. He is a known commodity as a long-time practicing ophthalmologist in western Kentucky. Along with tremendous intellectual heft, Rand is a polished public speaker with a professional presence. In short, he is an ideal candidate for the libertarian cause.All of which would explain why the national GOP is trying like hell to make sure he doesn’t get the nomination.
And all the more reason why conservatarians, wherever they are, should support him as much as they can. Me? Let’s run him for Senate, and then, a couple of years after he’s elected, he can start running for the Presidency. It wouldn’t be the first time somebody has pursued that strategy.
