Just one excerpt, you can read the rest at the link:

"What really gets Paul going, though, is the federal budget deficit and federal regulation. And for this reason, it would be difficult to imagine electoral circumstances more favorable for electing this man in 2010, despite the controversy. In an April Gallup poll, 78 percent of respondents said the federal deficit was either “extremely important” or “very important,” putting it just behind unemployment and health care as top-of-mind issues.

It’s as if Paul had been waiting for this moment his entire life and last year the world finally caught up with him. His moment has arrived. He just has to hold on to it. "

The overall article is peeved he didn't speak to the author more, and presents his campaign as 'protecting a narrative' in a way suggesting the author isn't sure the 'narrative' of the campaign is truth.... but to be honest, I still kind of like the picture of Rand that comes out of the article. (I wonder, by the way, if he wouldn't have gotten more time if he didn't OPEN his questions with one about the 14th amendment. I suspect it made him seem hostile.)

By the way, there is a matching profile on Jack.

Clip from Jack's piece:

"There’s also a picture of father and son, who played together at a Pebble Beach golf tournament. “Jack shot in the 70s, and I shot in the 170s,” the elder Conway said with a laugh, adding that his son is still a scratch golfer. When asked if he’d ever heard his son express interest in becoming president one day — something more than one Conway acquaintance I interviewed had heard — he said, “I don’t know if he ever told me that, but it wouldn’t surprise me. "

Man, could you imagine him as President? LOL!
