Nobody's putting you down. I'm merely pointing out that there is no serious movement to have Rand run for President.
And, I am supplying links to indicate there is talk of Rand Paul as a Presidential candidate.
Why so sensitive, I should think you would support a Rand Paul Presidential candidacy.!
He's baiting Obama to come and campaign on behalf of his Democratic opponent in the Kentucky Senate race, not to come campaign against Rand for President. Yes, I would support Rand for President, but I think there's better candidates. His father for starters, and Gary Johnson. Both have the political experience, whereas Rand has never held elected office. I also think they're both better on the issues, in general, than Rand.
You're giving Rand alot of credit for crafting a political fish trap for Obama.
Frankly, I doubt his intent was t do anymore than speak for a constituancy that is chaffing under government regulations who have evolved well beyond their original intent. The spirit of federal statues designed to protect minorities has been bastardised, e.g., NATIONAL BORDERS cannot be protected if we identify illegal migrants as a minority.
Sadly, Rand seems to have inherited his father's curse for being able to insert his foot into his mouth, and then pushing it in up past the knee. Given this, his chances for running for office needing a wide constituancy are slim.
What interests me is the growing concern (Anxiouty?) that some in the media have about the effect of the Tea Party's influance on an election still more than 2 years away. They clearly see Obama as standing on VERY thin ice.
